This weekend is guaranteed to be one of the best yet. Not only do I get to watch my beautiful friend walk down the aisle, but my husband and I's first anniversary is Sunday.
My husband and I dated for 7 years before getting married, but even then, marriage seemed scary - it's the biggest commitment I think one can make, and odds for staying married are not on anyones side.
One year later, I still wake up every morning beyond thankful that I am married to this man and get to live the rest of my life with him. All my pre-concived notions and expectations of what marriage would look like have been turned on their head - with everything so much better then I could have ever imaged. The grace I don't deserve, devout support, constant care, and never-ending laughter that has defined are first year of marriage has blown me away.
John, thank you for showing me what true commitment looks like, for making the decision every day to love me despite all of my (many) flaws. I love you more then I could ever put into words and nothing make me more excited then the thought of spending the rest of my life with you.

You're so sweet, thanks lady! :)
DeleteThis is such a sweet post! Happy anniversary! My boyfriend and I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago after dating for 10 years (today is actually our 10 year anniversary!). I couldn't have asked for anything to go any differently than it did. I am very excited to spend the rest of my life with my other half! Commitment is a beautiful thing :)
