That’s how old I was when I got married.
Yesterday I marked the milestone of being married for 17 years and 23 days.
I can now officially say I have been married for half of my life!
Look how far we’ve come.
Here’s to many more years together with my one and only.

The perfect housewife....well trying to be anyway! says
Absolutely beautiful wedding picture. Congratulations!
Cheryl says
Love it. 🙂 I was 19! We’ll be married for 13 years on Monday.
One Fish says
Does it blow your mind at all now when you think of your own daughter being 15? 17 is so so young! Congrats on finding happiness.
Chocolate on my Cranium says
Our oldest turned sixteen the end of October. The three oldest are usually saying something like “If Bon Bon were you she’d be at college right now.” Bon Bon just says “Thank goodness I’m not!” She definitely knows her own path and it doesn’t follow mom’s – at least in timing. 🙂
Holly says
Awww….
Jocelyn Christensen says
So very sweet…and you just look entirely virtuous in that wedding photo. I love it! Congratulations!
WaterWorks says
How wonderful for you both. You know, he’s a really lucky guy! I hope he remembers that. I am amazed your mother was all for a wedding at just past 17 years old. I had to present an entire case before my parents to wed prior to my college graduation (by one measly semester)! And I was 22 (and six months).
Tammy says
Congratulations! I was 19 when I got married 🙂 You have a beautiful family!
Mama Rachel says
Awww! So adorable! You beat me, and I was young, too. (2 weeks before I turned 18) I look back and think “What was I thinking?!” and then I look at my sweet husband, and all of our beautiful children, and I think “I wouldn’t change a thing!” 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Curls says
Congratulations! I love how you look just as happy as you did on the day you got married, if not happier.
Meg says
I get to celebrate this milestone next year and I’m already counting down. 🙂
Corine says
Congratulations! 😀
Cellista says
You were young, but Mr. FR sure looks pretty young too. 🙂
Congrats!
Corine says
PS. I was a little older than you at marriage (18.5). I find it absolutely AWESOME that so many young kids have the strength and courage to make such an important commitment!
PPS. How old was he?
Chocolate on my Cranium says
He was 23. He is 6 1/2 years older than I am.
Great Basin Cowgirl says
I wasn’t much older…. just 18. People just don’t realize we’ve been married as long as we have because it took us 7 years to have our Danielle. The world tried to convince me I was too young to make such a decision about someone I only had met 3 months earlier (and I probably was), but thankfully it’s a decision I’ll not only never regret, but be eternally grateful that I had listened to my heart. Congratulations!

We kinda have one thing in common..I am 6 years older than my husband…but I married at 34. This May we celebrate 23 years. Happy anniversary!
Donna says
Congratulations, you have an awesome family. It doesn’t just happen magically. It takes hard work and dedication to each other.
JRoberts says
What an awesome milestone to reach. I look forward to the day when Dh and reach that. (I still have a way to go though because I was almost 22) Great photos as well.

Congratulations! What a neat milestone! (I had no idea you and I are close to the same age!) You are such a beautiful couple, and your family is amazing. I wish we could be neighbors. 🙂

Amazing! Here’s to many, many more for you two!
