This is on our front door... put it up yesterday...
Halloween has always been a very special day for my
DH and I... We met on Halloween and 10 years later
after numerous proposals...we married on Halloween...
Many would be very surprised at that...
It has been shared by many they thought we would marry on Valentines
day or Thanksgiving, very special days for us too...
HOWEVER the story is... Halloween is our DAY!
The day we were married it was the warmest Halloween
on record, on our front door my dear friends
found this groom and his bride...
We married in our home...
Every year since, it adorns our front door...
Many of our neighbours have remarked
they think we are pretty wicked in a nice way...
I like to think we are still WICKED IN LOVE!
Now who of thought we would begin WICKED
with a love story....? :)
WELL here we are ...
