When We Were Young and In Love

Take note, here, since I’m actually going to be a little mushy-gushy-lovey-wuuvy here.
That’s not normally me.

See Romance is Overrated or Not Smoopy-Smoopy to see that I don’t usually ooze romance.
I love Hubs, I really do. But, we don’t usually get all gushy.
Hubs used to be like that, but I think I broke him.
One night, when we were first dating, he looked at me with this loving look on his face and said in the sweetest voice, “You’re just so precious and sweet.”
I laughed so hard that I fell off the bed couch that we were on.

But, in honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I’m going to give you a little glimpse at the two of us from our wedding and honeymoon, Photobooth Saturday style.

First pic: our wedding day.

Second pic: our bridal portrait session- we actually did this several months after our wedding, since we couldn’t find time to squeeze it in before the wedding. It was actually really fun to get dressed up in my wedding gown again, Hubs rented his tux again, we drank champagne, and hung out on the beach. I love those pics more than the ones from our wedding day, because were were just being us together.

Third and Fourth pics: from our honeymoon. *That third pic may or may not be my current facebook profile pic, as if that is what Hubs and I look like now, as opposed to almost 7 years ago.

Weren’t we cute?

So young and in love.

Now we’re old 7 years older and still in love. ♥

  1. Awww… how "sappy" Just teasing! Love the pictures! I always tell Wayne that I want to get all dressed up in my wedding gown – but he doesn't seem to think it is a good idea. No fun!

  3. Came over from SITS to say happy Saturday Sharefest.

    I actually had a guy say he wanted "to make love to me" and I too fell off the sofa laughing. I laughed for ten minutes then he asked why it was so funny. I ended up laughing again for another ten.

  4. Stopping by from SITs. Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
    Your pics are adorable.
    Happy 7 years to you!
    My DH and I are not super Sappy either but the love is strong. 🙂
    It will be 9 years of marriage for us next week. 11 1/2 years total. Seems like yesterday we just met.

  5. We were cute, too, and SO much in love. Right now, though, Mr. Fairway & I are in "discussions" over who's cooking dinner Sunday nite. And I can assure you…won't be moi! Snuggled up near you at SITS today. Happy SNOWLESS Saturday!

  6. I also broke my husband of the sappiness. His mom loves to be spoiled, so taught her boys to spoil herself (and in her mind any woman)with "kindness" and gifts. That don't happen no more. Hehe, he doesn't spoil her anymore either 😀

  8. I get to see more into you everyday

    precious and sweet.. he said that.. what guy says that. a baby puppy is precious and candy is sweet…

    you were suspose to be hot and erotic…

    or wild and untamed

  9. N and I don't really get mushy either. With all of the valentine posts going around I feel like I need to post something, even though we don't celebrate the day. I love your pictures!

  10. Those are cute pictures. 🙂 I've done several photobooth sessions with some friends and they're always so fun and silly. We have one at our mall and the zoo.

  11. I love the photobooth pics. I'd sure love to get my dress out and wear it again. I wonder if it's even in the box sometimes. You know how you send it to be cleaned and put away in the box, well my box has no window in it, so I hope it's in there and it's mine!!

  14. I love that. You laughed at him? Poor guy. But that's what you get.

    I had a boyfriend once stare deeply at me for several minutes (which made me itchy) and then say, "You have the most beautiful eyes."

    I'm pretty sure I stuck my tongue out at him and made fart noise with my mouth.

    It was the right call.

  17. Not mushy gushy is a good description of us too, I can relate. Although have had – and do have – our moments. Love the photobooth style posting.

  19. I love the idea that your took your wedding pictures after the wedding. I imagine it would make for a much less stressful time.

  20. ooOOoo, shell, going all happy sappy-assed on us. It's ag, baby. Meanwhile, LOVING your new look! Super cute.

  22. *Cough* *Ecghk* *Choke*
    The sappiness is killing me.
    (Though you guys are cute)
    (and you're funny)
    Happy *Barf* Valentine's day

  23. awwwwwwwwwwww
    well I LUUUUUUUV your pics!!! I think they are PRECIOUS!!!

    I'm just the opposite
    I was a cynical, opinionated, hard ass, balls to the wall, don't grope me or touch me or show me ANY affection ESPECIALLY not in public… until I met Preacher T. and now…….
    well……
    I can't stand to be a room and not be somehow touching him. (I don't mean sickening groping.. just a hand on the knee or something like that)
    yes me.
    the cold hearted biyaaaatch!
    he broke me
    he made me squishy!
    I can't help it now.
    *and I wouldn't change it for the world!* 😉

    OH and PS – love the new look!!!

  25. Oh I love the pics, your dress looks fabulous!!!
    I'm not a huge gusher of sappy crap either…maybe after a drink or two ♥

  29. I LOVE that you did bridal portraits after your wedding– I wish we had thought to do that!

    I really like your wedding gown– can you post another (bigger) picture of it? I want to see that scoop back (so original on a wedding dress!) up close!

  33. I love that you got dressed up again. 🙂
    I would have loved to have done that – but by then I was knocked up.
    Who knew marriage would make me fertile ..sigh.

  34. aaww…those are very nice pictures!

    Hubby and I aren't gushy, either. I don't like romance stuff like books and movies. I can't stand them.

    We don't celebrate Valentine's, but this year, since he has been away a lot (and probably because he became a dad), he is being all romantic-like and stuff and wants to do something on Valentine's Day–he, my husband wants to celebrate…mmmmmmm…it's so strange, but I'll go along with it.

  37. Cute pics!!! I'm not into the mushy stuff either…AT ALL!!! Doesn't surprise me that we have that in common too!!

  39. Those are great photos! Congrats for making it last 7 years! Hope you last at least 57 more!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog; hope you'll come often!

  40. Love it!! I'm not a really mushy one either. In fact, my hubs tells me all the time that I am about as cuddly as a porcupine. So funny.

  41. Well, we all know that I LOVE love!!
    Love these photos… 🙂 You two are super cute.. and mush-gushy-lovey-wuvvy… or something like that!! lol

  43. Awww. I thought you were going to show us some in love but not romantic and gushy pictures. Are you going to do those next?

  44. Love the new blog design! Sweet post – as mushy as you may or may not be… Happy Valentine's Day!

  45. From my perspective of 43+ years of marriage (to the same guy!), may I just say, "Don't be so anxious to break anyone of "sappy" or "sweet"….for you will surely miss it when its gone….and it will surely go someday! Once gone, it never returns!"

  47. Shell – i love these pictures. but i think you made a typo earlier. It says bed, and I think you meant to say when you guys were at Bible study.

  49. What a fun thing to do! I love seeing your wedding and honeymoon pictures!

    How fun to get all dressed up in your gown again for pictures!

  50. Very cute pics! Hubby and I aren't very sappy anymore…We used to be sappy before we had 3 kiddos. Now we're too tired for sappy, lol.

  51. Yay for face pictures. You know I am going to give you crap forever for never showing your face. We need BIGGER pics! lol! Cute little couple!

  53. great pics! Sappy comes and goes on our end, I think its the same the world around. I have mentioned you on my website, just a little bit of love…looks like you have been busy handing out and getting love this weekend as well (awards that is, but on the home front too 😉

  55. I saw all of you awards but I could not leave a comment at the end. I just wanted to say Happy Valentine's day..

  56. Very cool blog, love the awards. I'll have to check them out throughout the week. Thanks for checking out my blog.

  58. I'm really digging your photobooth Saturdays. Ya'll are so cute and in love. Happy Valentine's Day!

    p.s. I grabbed your new button and replaced the old in my blogroll. New blog design looks snazzy.

  60. Cute 🙂 I'm new here and I'm finding your postings to be helpful in finding some more wonderful bloggers 🙂 Thanks! -Jen

  61. GASP!! You keep REVEALING yourself!!! Someone's gonna find out who you are if you don't CUT IT OUT!! LOL *smooches™

  62. My husband and I are not super mushy either at least not since our girls were born. Cute pics! That was a great idea with having your wedding portraits done after the wedding. I wish we had done that.

  64. I love the idea of taking wedding pics after the wedding when you're more relaxed. Wish I had thought of that!
