1. Where/How did you meet?
NBCC Saint John. College, in other words. He was in 2nd year, I was in 1st year of Computer Programming. Betcha didn’t know I was semi-edjumacated.
2. How long have you known each other? Since then.
3. How long after you met did you start dating? An embarassingly short time.
4. How long did you date before you were engaged? An embarassingly short time.

8. How many people came to your wedding reception? None, we eloped.
9. What kind of cake did you serve? None.
10. Where was your wedding? The Fredericton courthouse.
11. What did you serve for your meal? Well, after we did the legal paperwork (if you’re wondering about the “before God’ part, God is everywhere AFAIC) we went back to our apartment and I threw together some sort of meal. Probably mac n’ cheese.

13. Are you still friends with them all? Not really, although Ron has talked to Robin in the past year.
14. Did your spouse cry during the ceremony? I don’t think so. He may have teared up a speck.
15. Most special moment of your wedding day? I won’t say.
16. Any funny moments? Yes. When the judge started reading his stuff, I realized I had gum in my mouth and no pockets, so I took it out and held it in my hand behind me. Robin, our witness, was behind me and thought I was handing her something, so she TOOK it. Then I spent the rest of it trying not to burst into giggles.
17. Any big disasters? Not a one.
18. Where did you go on your honeymoon? Keddy’s Moter Inn, Saint John – the next evening.
19. How long were you gone? Overnight.
20. If you were to do your wedding over, what would you change? I’d do it sooner. Still at the courthouse, but almost a year sooner. Like the June before.
21. What side of the bed do you sleep on?: My side. When looking at the bed, the right, near the wall.
22. What size is your bed? Queen. It was double until we had Emma.
23. Greatest strength as a couple? Working together.
24. Greatest challenge as a couple? Working together.
25. Who literally pays the bills? It usually works out half and half. I was going to say me, but he constantly reminds me to do it.
26. What is your song? Any sappy song on the radio, but we have been known to sing Unforgettable by Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole to each other in front of other people.
27. What did you dance your first dance to? We didn’t.
28. Describe your wedding dress: It was white and I re-used my grad dress. it is a spectacualr example of the eighties with puffy shoulders, a fitted waist, pegged calf-length skirt, and a ruffle down the back seam. It also had a deep V back. I think there’s a pic in Flick somewhere.
29. What kind of flowers did you have at your wedding? Uh.. *thinks hard* Ron surprised me with a corsage, I think it was a peach-pink rose.
30. Are your wedding bands engraved? Nope, they’re white gold skinny ones. Ron lost his, but it doesn’t matter. I’m engraved on his heart.
31. How old were you when you got married? 19, almost 20. No, it’s not too young, When you know, you know.
