The theme this week at Kristen's blog is "Men's Week" in honor of Father's Day this weekend.
So, in the holiday spirit I chose to share a photo of me and my dads. Yes, plural. I have been blessed with two dads in my life. My folks got divorced when I was about 7 and my mom remarried when I was 10. While both have played different roles and fulfilled different needs in my life, I love them both dearly and would not change having both of them in my life!
This photo is from my wedding day, June 22, 1996. The wedding took place in the beautiful backyard of an aunt and uncle's house in North Alabama. I had both my dad's walk me down the "aisle". 
That would be Nick the Greek on the left and my step-dad (otherwise known as Papa) on the right. Looks like that leaves little ol' me being the one in the middle. Check out the floofy hair. Hmph. Don't remember that. Wow, that bouquet was big!
So, hop on over to We Are That Family for my favorite blog carnival and check out some of the other participants. You will love it, I promise!

Sweet photo. They both look so proud to be there with you. What a great way to pay tribute to them both! You look gorgeous!
That's sweet! I remarried when my daughter was 4, and she has a great relationship with her stepdad, and with her dad, too. I'd love to see something like this on her wedding day!
I think that is so incredible! I love how both dad's were involved and look happy!
And your hair is lovely, my dear. It was the time...
Thanks for playing along!
I think you looked perfect and the lily's were gorgeous. How wonderful that you got/get to have two dads!
Love the pix and the thoughtfullness you had as a bride and not a bridezilla!

Awww. how sweet! I had two grandmothers like that growing up and it was really special.
Thanks for stopping by!
What a nice photo - you look so happy! And how cool that you had both Dads give you away!
I've never seen any of your wedding photos - you looked lovely. And your hair looked great with the dress and flowers. You should post more of your pics. :-)
Ps. Just noticed thats the President's house on the UA campus! :) I've driven by that building gazillions of times in my life.
Awww you looked so pretty. :)
