Start at the Start! The Beginning: Part I

Before I dig into the details of my wedding plans, I thought you might like me to share how me and my Mr. came to be "we."

It all began 25 years ago. I'm serious.

Mr. Lemonade, a lad of 3 (and a HALF!) years, sat on a church pew with his family on a seemingly normal Sunday morning. Little did he know! That self-same Sunday morning, a frazzled new mother sat in the pew directly in front of the Lemonade family and cradled arguably the most adorable, precious, darling newborn baby girl (that'd be me). Mother L. leaned forward, holding FBIL Lemonade who was zero and a half, and told my Mom what a pretty baby I was. I suppose Mr. L. and I were betrothed at that point.

Fast forward to when I myself was 3 (and a HALF!). I often ran around after church playing tag with Brother Lemonade and the other kids from my Bible class. Or so I'm told. I have this picture to prove it:


FBIL Lemonade and Me (Mr. L says I still make this face a lot)

I distinctly remember playing tag. I don't remember FBIL Lemonade, and I DEFINITELY don't remember Mr. Lemonade.... C'mon, I was A BABY. Before the year was up, they had moved to the other side of town and began attending church elsewhere.

TWENTY YEARS PASS

Wow, that sounds rather epic. I'll pick up in Part II!
