December 30th felt like it would NEVER arrive, but it did and it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. I am officially married. that is weird to say and even stranger to see in writing! in a matter of a few hours, my entire life changed. I no longer live at home, (for the first time in my LIFE), I no longer live in a full house (it's just the 2 of us) and i REALLY don't get to sit and wait for mom to do everything anymore...I have a new last name and as weird as that is for me, that's not even the BIGGEST of the changes I've experienced.
I am so happy though. In the short week that we've been married, I have learned so much. It's true, the time after the wedding is truly the honeymoon period, but there is another truth that isn't as widely spread...that is that we all eventually have to return to real life. I am so excited to be married to my best friend for time and eternity. While the day (and the millions of days before it) wasn't without it's mishaps or speed bumps, it turned out to be the happiest day of my life (so far). Everything was 10 times more beautiful than I expected and the everyone enjoyed themselves.
As I sit at work on my first day back, I am floored by how quickly even a week has passed. I can't wait to go home to my husband and our little home that's all our own. The time and energy we invested this past week in personalizing our home and making it beautiful to us will pay off when I walk through the door greeted by the spirit that we have worked so hard to welcome into our home.
I wish I had the time to go back and go over every little detail and thought from our wedding day, but that will have to wait...So until then, (since my photographer hasn't EEEEVEN gotten back to us) here's the 2 pictures I have from that day...(thanks Teu & Kawena).
