Happy 16 years married to my dreamboat teenage cru

Happy 16 years married to my dreamboat teenage crush ... sorry we are split spending this day at a Tate McRae concert and the scarecrow festival - but I couldn't love you more. I think it's crazy we've been together for 20 something years but here we are... and it feels like no time has passed . I love you to the moon and back @b__houston and we will celebrate someday soon 💋

Lucky to have family and friends like you ✨Quite

Lucky to have family and friends like you ✨Quite a few of my favorite people missing from this 🎠 but it doesn't mean they didn't celebrate with me! Stay tuned for more photos from my extra fabulously classy high school party at my parents house / it was better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for making me feel loved ♥️
