Behind every great man.....

They say behind every great man, there is a great woman.  I'd like to add to that, "Behind every great man was a boy who needed a great woman to mold him, dress him and make him grow up."

I'd like to think I've helped make Mike a better person.  We met when he was 24, and let's face it, he needed some time to grow up.  He also needed years of practice in front of the camera before we got married.  See at 24, he was a hot mess in pictures.  He confused smiling with just opening his mouth and showing his teeth.  It was bad.  In fact at his brother's wedding, the family had to order pictures based on how Mike looked, not the bride and groom.  So let's take a walk down memory lane.  (P.S. I asked Mike's permission before I did this blog...so don't worry, I'm not creating marital problems already.)

 

Below you'll see some pictures from the wedding, and what 6 1/2 years of molding from a woman did for him.  You'll probably think wow, you've come along way baby.  

To Mike: I'm proud of you honey...on the biggest day of our lives, you brought your A-game.  Well done.
