Kristi Mitchell, 24, tries to keep her wedding gown out of a puddle as her husband, David, not pictured, washes their SUV at the Family Car Wash in Raleigh, after their wedding reception. As a joke, friends covered the truck in shaving cream during the reception. "Everyone knows how he is about his car," Kristi says. "They were all taking bets to see how long it would be before he washed it off." The Mitchells were high school sweethearts who met at Rocky Mount High School.

"No Ordinary Day" is a visual diary of the events, both large and small, that serve as milestones in people's lives. It debuted on March 24, 2002 and concluded on Aug. 29, 2007. We hope you continue to enjoy looking at our archive of “No Ordinary Day” images.

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
