#mintjubilee

17 years ago today at the #kentuckyderby preparty called the #MintJubilee I met the man I knew I would marry! Lucky me... he answered the call when I rang him up 4 days later and we’ve been together ever since. #HappilyEverAfter #MyLuckyDay PS can’t find the photo right now of both of us from that night but if any of you (looking at you @shushuku 👀) please share so I can post. Full story is in my book #MelissaExplainsItAll about the shenanigans from that evening. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBXqz7hOVE/?igshid=1f7o9t9me7333

On this night 2002, I was attending a #MintJubilee charity event at the #KentuckyDerby and was asked to intro this rock band from Alabama when I glanced across the stage to see this tall, bald, pierced and ruggedly handsome 24year old boy. It was #loveAtFirstSite NO DOUBT and my knees went weak while we chatted. The next day I told friends I met the man I was going to marry! 7 months later we were engaged and 7 months after that we were married only to be blessed 3 baby boys in the next 10 years. 15 years later and he still makes me weak in the knees!! Love you pumpkin and can't believe 15 years have gone by in a flash but I can't wait to see what the next 15 bring. **Can't find the pic from the night we met (does anyone have it?) but these are from our 14 months of dating.
