Who would have thought that a trip to the dentist would have begun an eternity of love!
Just moments after arriving home from a two year mission Jon Bratt stopped in at the dentist to surprise his sisters (dental hygienists) of his homecoming. It was there that he met his first and only love Debie Ryan. Sparks flew as he shook the hand of the young beautiful brunette. It was hard for Jon to believe he had found his first love so soon! But two years later...they were sealed for time and all eternity at the Provo LDS Temple exactly 30 years ago today!
Did you know...
My parents have had a date nearly every Friday night since they were married!
They dated for a year and were engaged for a year before married!
They didn't kiss until over the alter (unbelievable but true) They've made up for it ever since!
They have seven children (of which I am their favorite j/k) and five and a half grandchildren!
They can really rock it out on the dance floor!

That is so cute! How did you get all the information about the year they were married? I can't believe they never kissed!
What an awsome post!!!!!
Your parents sound awesome!!! Is your dad THE Bratt from Bratt landscaping?
Just wondering. Richard worked for them for the 7 weeks we were engaged right after his mission. That is a way funny story I will have to tell you sometime!

You are such a cute sneaky girl! What a fun surprise and wow, you just never cease to amaze me! We even forgot a lot of the 1978 info you added... we loved it.
It's been a fast 30 years in a lot of ways, full of life's lessons. We wouldn't trade a moment together and look forward to the next 30.
Thank you the beautiful tribute. We love you!
Mom and Dad
P.S. Dad always said the reason he didn't kiss me before we got married is because he knew he wouldn't want to stop. Now we never have to!
Wow, Michelle. I can't believe how much you look like your mom.... and how Mike actually looks like your dad!! At first I was trying to figure out if it was your parents or Mike's, then I read the post.
Very cool.
Love you guys,
Courtney

That's awesome. It's so fun to have those landmarks. My Grandparents are hitting 60 years at the end of the month. I think I'm going to have to do that for their anniversary too.
