Introducing, Mrs. Lyles. Yes you read right.

I have not posted here in a year! Well, as you can tell by the title, not only did I get engaged, but that old fool married me too. On December 29, 2010, in front of our closest friends and family we became one. No big wedding, just simple courtroom nuptials, a fly little white dress, and our love. If you know me, you know that I had a temper tantrum about not having my fairy tale day, but the marriage is what matters most. The husband promises to give me my day whenever we  renew our vows. In all honesty, I just want the dress experience, the photos, and a wedding cake. Our day was very special. After we said the vows, kissed the bride, got the license, we all headed to McCormick and Scmidt (spelling to be verified) for a luncheon reception. Our friends gave us heartfelt toasts, I was given a beautiful brooch bouquet, grandparents gave us some cash, nearby patrons bought us champagne and we were also gifted a two night stay at a very nice hotel downtown. It wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect enough. Looking back through these posts, I chuckle at how times have completely changed. I’m his wife. Not his girlfriend, not his baby mama, but his wife.

Cheers to a life of happiness and all that marriage brings
