Oh Yeah, We Got Married

Hubs and I just celebrated our first anniversary, and I totally missed on blogging about it.  Probably because our anniversary fell on Easter, and I was in Haiti.  So, I think you can forgive me.

I loved every aspect of our wedding.  Every part of it was pretty intentional and we tried to reflect two things. 

1) Jesus is the only reason this marriage was happening, let alone going to work

2) Weddings are a party, and parties should be fun!

The ceremony was my favorite part - we chose every song, I made a multi-page program that had games, fun facts and explained a lot of the special parts.  My favorite part of the ceremony?  We took communion together and prayed.

We also threw out a lot of stuff that didn't make sense to us - like making our bridesmaids and groomsmen stand the whole time.  I've been there - you can't see anything, and you always feel like you're going to fall over and ruin the whole ceremony.  Or maybe that's just me.  Plus, both of my sister-in-laws had just given birth, and my other two bridesmaids were pregnant.

Then, we partied.  Hubs and I didn't have champagne - we think it's gross.  So we had Yuengling beer in our custom engraved pint glasses.  I danced, Hubs had a cigar.  We had a caricaturist and a photo station with props.

All in all, it was a beautiful day and the last year has been one of the best of my life.  Living life with Hubs has taught me so much about God, faith and love.

Plus, take a look at this handsome man - so stinking hot!  (sorry, Mom)

Thank you God for this man, this love, this marriage.  And the wedding wasn't bad, either.
