It's no joke... 9 years Baby!!!! Today (April 1st - April Fools day) is Maurice and my wedding anniversary, and it's been 9 years, It's hard to imagine it's been that long. Sure we've had our ups and down (but who hasn't) but overall I'm glad I married Maurice. Here's some pictures to remind me of that special day.... April 1, 2000 
Here's me getting ready - The Lovely Ro (my sister-in-law) did my hair and makeup 
Maurice getting ready  Um yeah... the fellows laughing since Donnell (next to Maurice) fell on the steps on the walk in... it's all on tape and at the time I knew nothing of this.. since I was out in the lobby waiting to come in .. Maurice told me during the service and them later we played it on the big screen as we were getting pictures done.

The vows  The Vows  The girls and guys in our wedding party Gaye Lynn Strickland (Maid of Honor) and Donnell (Best man) Beth Eckerley and Jon Harp, Natalie Smith (my sister) and Dan Bush Debi Trumble and Anthony Broaddus (Maurice's Brother)  We did bird seed... for anyone getting married, I highly suggest doing bubbles.... I ended up with like a pound of bird seed in my hair, and in my dress, it was everywhere.... and it kind of hurts when it hits you.  Our lovely cake..... I was surprised since I was just going to do something much simpler, but Ro and/or her Mom (Maurice's mom) wanted to do the cake..... it was pretty.... funny part was the couple on top of the cake was a white couple that they colored the man brown and colored the girls hair brown, well it worked.  Sally and Maurice eating the cake  Maurice's mom was in charge of the reception.... which only had a couple tense moments about it.... but over all she did a great job.... she went a little over the top but it was all good.... there was an Children's african dance troop that came and played the drums and danced.. plus even though it was catered, she had made a ton of Jamaician food also.  there was also a DJ so everyone could dance... we also had a TV in one corner due to it was final 4 weekend and all the guys wanted to see the games. Maurice and I did one dance and then tried to dart for the door (Maurice's idea) we got stopped a few hundred times and then made our way out of there... off to the honeymoon... in town one night at the sybaris and then off to Florida for a week.  9 years later, we had two boys along the way and here we are still together....  Maurice is hard to buy for.... so this year I did a money bush... Happy Anniversary Maurice!!!
