We did it! This was us 12 years ago today shortly after we had officially tied the knot. We got married at the United Church in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Our photographer took many photos of us – some of which he used a soft focus filter on his film camera OR he just rubbed some Vaseline on the edges of his lens. After the last few weeks of my film photo practice, I’m even more grateful for our wedding photos. The photographer got so many! And all in focus! And we’re in the frame and everything! Clearly he knew what he was doing.
We celebrated our anniversary with a hearty steak and lobster meal at the Keg last night, and by watching more episodes of Underbelly today. Very laid back – and I’m glad for that. Besides, next week we’re off to Toronto for all sorts of excitement, so we’re just taking it easy until then.
Here’s a “before the wedding” photo for your enjoyment/amusement:
This is a photo of me STOMPING into the church – about 15 minutes late for my own wedding. We got lost in Bridgewater and had to ask a police officer we found at a coffee shop to escort us to the church. I was fuming as I got out of the car, stomped into the church where Mike’s mom met me at the door, gently pointed out where the washroom was and quietly told me to go touch-up my lipstick. I took her advice, tried to calm down, and headed into the room where the people were waiting for my arrival – including a pacing Mike Browne. It was all kind of a blur after that.
Happy Anniversary to us! And thank you for patiently waiting for me while I fixed my lipstick that day, Mike.

Happy Anniversary you two!
Also, I LOVE your wedding dress. You don’t see too many short ones out there!
Love that! Unlike you, I was horrendously EARLY for my own wedding sitting in a car outside the church waiting for the groom and flower girl to arrive – they were the late ones – can’t believe I kept my kool. Your dress is HAWT! Above the knee – how risque
Congratulations!
Happy anniversary! I think you two are reverse aging!
Congratulations Carol! What a cute couple! And a great story!
What a sexxxaaay wedding dress!
Happy anniversary for yesterday! Here’s to many more!
Happy Anniversary!!!
Congradulations! I love the short dress, long veil combination. Very chic.
Poor Mike! That must have been horrid to wait so long for you! It all turned out in the end though – just look at you now!
Thanks guys! And early to your own wedding, Harriet? Whoa. That sounds like Mike. He’s early for everything.
I know. I went with the short dress. And the shiny legs combo. I also thought I didn’t want a veil. Until I tried one on and then I wanted to wear it every day to work. Heh.
i’m a couple of days late … happy anniversary mr. and mrs. browne!
Whoa! I’m horribly late with this, but happy anniversary! You two are so foxy — I love the above-the-knee dress! And way to go, being fashionably, stompingly late to your own wedding, Carol.
