It is Mr. Spring\u2019s and my second wedding anniversary, and we are celebrating today here in Syracuse but heading out for a mini-vacation to Mexico in a couple days.<\/h3>\n

Our wedding day was perfect in every way. \u00a0 I love looking back at photos and wanted to share them with you this year. Please enjoy the following photos. \u00a0First, I have put a link for a short three-minute wedding slide show. \u00a0Make sure your speakers are on, because the music enhances the photos.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is my favorite photo.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The historic church was built on land donated by Mary Todd Lincoln\u2019s father.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I look very serious as my mother helps me with my necklace.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The garter I wore was given to me by Mr. Spring\u2019s grandmother. \u00a0It was my something blue and my something old.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Little bouquets of flowers hung from every other pew. \u00a0The entire church smelled like the flowers. \u00a0The florist did an outstanding job with the flowers. \u00a0I especially liked the garland that surrounded the entrance to the church. \u00a0My mostly orchid bouquet was long and elegant and resembled the flowers Princess Diana carried on her wedding day.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t look like a nervous bride in this photo.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

My groom doesn\u2019t look nervous either.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Our greeter, \u201cSmoothie\u201d, \u00a0had her own flowers. \u00a0Most of our guests were from out of town, and we thought this would be a nice Kentucky touch.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

We walked through the traditional sword arch before leaving for the reception. \u00a0We had to kiss each time so we could walk down the path. \u00a0In the background you can see the floral garland that surrounded the church\u2019s old wooden doors.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

We made a sign to lead our guests to a container filled with \u201cdance shoes.\u201d \u00a0We tied flip flops with ribbons so that sore feet wouldn\u2019t be an excuse for not dancing. \u00a0Since we were married, we could finally use our custom-designed monogram that was an engagement gift from my parents.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

We made menu cards for our sit-down dinner that included stuffed shrimp and filet mignon. \u00a0Instead of wedding cake, we had New York cheesecake because my husband grew up in NYC and requested it. \u00a0It was a huge hit. \u00a0The mansion where we had our reception was used for the filming of several scenes in the movie, \u201cSecretariat\u201d.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have an exciting life ahead of us.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n
