May 18, 1997...the day we said "I Do". It was a gorgeous, sunny, warm Sunday afternoon. Scott and I met each other at Point Pleasant Presbyterian church as single people but left as husband and wife. With an exchange of vows and rings, sealed with a kiss, we were on our way to start our new life together. Little did we know all those years ago where we would be today.

| Mr. & Mrs. Scott Bradley Sheldon |
Our 20 years have absolutely been filled with everything our vows said they would be. We've had many good times, mixed with some bad times...we've walked through plenty of sick times, rejoiced & enjoyed the healthy times...we've relished in richer times, and struggled & prayed through poor times. We've experienced the passing of dear family and friends...especially three babies that we lost due to miscarriage. We've rejoiced in the births of our two amazing, wonderful children, and continue to be so overjoyed at the people they have become. Throughout the past 20 years, in all situations, we've always strived to keep Jesus as the center of our lives, marriage and family. It is because of Him, His love and sacrifice for us that we have made it to this point of our life together.
May 18, 2017...our 20th Wedding Anniversary...the day we still say "I Do"!! It was a gorgeous, sunny, warm Thursday evening. What a thrill it was for me to stand the steps of the church where we left 20 years ago as husband and wife. I cannot tell you how I felt standing there reminiscing about our wedding day. All the emotions of that day came flooding back. I couldn't stop smiling. I was so happy...and so proud that we've made it to this point of our life together.

| An absolutely perfect statement for us!! |
Back when I was planning our wedding, I had picked this place for two reasons. One because of the location. It was really close to the church, and the view of the water and sunset are absolutely stunning at this venue. Secondly, because when Scott and I met it was right around the time the TV show FRIENDS was popular. There was an episode* where Phoebe told Ross that a relationship with Rachel would happen because she was his lobster. This episode aired right around the time Scott and I met, and from that moment on we said that we were each other's lobsters. So, The Lobster Shanty was the absolute perfect place for us to have our wedding reception at.
We enjoyed a wonderful supper at The Lobster Shanty, complete with a gorgeous view of the water and sunset.
After supper, we went to a local coffee shop. We took our stuff to go, and headed to the inlet. We sat in our car with the windows down and enjoyed the smell of the ocean, the view of the water and the boats coming in and out of the inlet.
This day was absolutely perfect for us. Just like our wedding day!!
