five years ago today i married my awesome husband

the wedding party came over after the rehearsal dinner and we drank far too much far too late into the night, so i woke up dazed and slightly hungover on my wedding day, but that was easily fixed by a couple of bloody marys while i got ready. i wasn't nervous at all and once the ceremony started, i only had eyes and ears for my wonderful man. he later told me that i looked small to him because my smile was so big. i have never felt so beautiful as i did on that day.







marriage isn't for the faint of heart and there were times i didn't think we'd make it this far, but we are stronger now than we've ever been and i love him more each day. he told me to not leave the house today, so i'm anxiously awaiting whatever it is i'm supposed to be waiting for. he's working today and will most likely be wiped out when he gets home, so we'll just be quiet tonight, but i am trying to talk him into heading up into the mountains on sunday for one last picnic of the season.

i wish you all the same love that i have known with him.

This is just the most beautiful post. You have written so movingly of your marriage, and your wedding...I really enjoyed reading it.

But......

When I got to your last line...I just lost it. You made the tears come into my eyes, and I thank you for that. Beautifully, perfectly written. Your love and respect for your wonderful man is absolutely palpable in every line.

Congratulations to you both!

i could go on and on about my wedding day, it was so fun and wonderful. like how my mother thought one of the husband's friends was a wedding crasher or how by the end of the night, it was just a few drunken friends and us dancing to the best of devo

i loved him from the minute we met and am so lucky that he loves me back.

A romance we all would love to have....

"he later told me that i looked small to him because my smile was so big."

This may be one of the sweetest things I've ever heard a man say.

You looked lovely (love the dress and your hair) and he looked handsome and you look so much in love.

May you never lose the joy your love brings!
