a year later…
[ one of my favorite pictures from the wedding. I always smile because we were laughing at the fact that I can't dance and our families had finally dragged me onto the little dance floor. I was more than a little embarrassed! hehe! photo by Kate Headley. ]
One year ago I said “I do” to the man who had won my heart before all our close friends and family. I remember how I had been treating it like any other Saturday, and had kept composed up until right before the ceremony: when my dad and I were standing outside the church sanctuary before I walked down the aisle. When we walked in, I couldn’t believe how sharp Sailor Husband looked in his Navy dress blues (or “Cracker Jacks” as their also known). How cold it was that day! I don’t think it got much above 34° that day as we scurried around with our photographer and tried not to freeze. The shyness I felt when our family convinced us to do just one dance together at the reception–I am an awful dancer with two left feet. hehe!
The admiration for my Sailor Husband I felt that day has not waxed or waned–it’s gotten stronger, as has our love for each other. It’s amazing how much can happen in one year; I look back and sometimes feel like a totally different person. Marriage has not only been sweet, but it’s had it’s harder parts too: the things that build character and force two people to become closer. It’s been an adventure and a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade him for the world!

That is wonderful! Congratulations. I think that is great that you at least gave the dance floor a chance. We didn’t have a dance floor at our reception, because of the fact that my Husband is not very confident in dancing (he didn’t dance with me at prom even). :: shrugs :: I’d like us to get some swing dance lessons one day and maybe when we renew our vows he will dance with me! Congratulations to you both. You certainly were a blushing beautiful bride!
