One year... it's such a long amount of time and yet, so short in other ways. Mat and I are beyond thankful to be celebrating our one year anniversary this weekend but I can't help but wonder, where has the time gone? One year ago on October 6, 2012 we walked down the isle as husband and wife. Is it weird that in some ways those words still feel strange to say? Maybe I feel that way because to me, it feels like our wedding was yesterday. But here we are, one year later, and our relationship is better than ever!
Today, has been a busy day and sadly, we have not even had time to celebrate or really just sit together and enjoy this moment in our lives. We just got back home after an eventful weekend and I sit here now with a silly puppy running around while trying to get something accomplished for this week of school. (and not much is happening on that end!) I can't help but just feel blessed though because as I sit here trying to get my life sorted out, my wonderful husband is slaving away in the kitchen making a replica of our wedding cake for us to enjoy together tomorrow. Now please don't feel too bad for him. Let's be honest, he chose to do this himself and really he will use any excuse to buy chocolate cake and Butterfingers! ;)
During the craziness of this weekend though, I have been trying to think back to that wonderful day and hoping to remember every moment...which of course I can't. Ya know, everyone told me to really stop take it all in that day and I am afraid like everyone else, I simply didn't. That was the biggest piece of advice I got before the wedding and I never knew how important that actually was. Thankfully though, I have the amazing gift of pictures to look back on and they make me smile every time I look at them. The look of happiness beaming in both Mat and my eyes is priceless and it sums up our day. So, here are some of the moments of our big day, one year ago!
To all who were there, we loved every minute of our wedding day and it was because of you. :)
Much love today,
The Wallaces
