Five Years Ago Today....

At this very moment, I was standing in the parlor of our church, lining up our wedding party and listening to beautiful piano music serenading us all as we waited for my wedding procession to begin.

Five years ago today, I was so sick I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it through the day. It wasn't the cold feet or nerves, it was our little bundle of joy tucked secretly in my uterus making his presence known in a big way.

Five years ago today I danced in my husband's arms for the first time ever, married or unmarried.

Five years ago today I wept as our entire wedding ceremony was completely ruined by our officiant who brought the wrong copy of the ceremony and left out the entire vows we had written to the children as well as all our special passages.

Five years ago today I enjoyed being the princess, the center of attention, for the first last and only time in my life.

Five years ago today our beautiful children dressed in their tuxedos and fancy dress and fully celebrated as we became a family.

Five years ago today I made a promise to love and cherish my husband through good and bad. We have experienced all of the above many times over, including that day five years ago today! It is the best and most important promise I've ever made to anyone about anything in my life.

I love you, my husband, my best friend, my co-conspirator, my lover, the father of my wonderful children and my rock.

This is sweet! Happy Anniversary to you! I hope you have a great day and weekend.
 
Happy Anniversary!! What a beautiful family wedding picture. Isn't it crazy how wedding days can be so good and so messed up at the same time?! But in the end all that matters is that you married your true love. :-)
 
What a wonderful testament! Congratulations on your 5th anniversary.

To Love, Honor and Dismay
 
That's so sweet. Happy anniversary!
 
Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful bride! I hope your husband is back to celebrate with you!
 
Happy anniversary you two !! Hope you had a magical day. And the family photo is priceless.
 
What a gorgeous group! Everyone sure cleaned up pretty nice! My sister is getting married next week and starting to turn into a bit of a frantic bridezilla. I keep reminding her to just enjoy the day for waht it is. You can plan and plan for perfection but also expect some oopsies as well.
I will post some pictures on my blog when I get back. It is a Canadian-Vietnamese wedding so check it out in about 2 weeks!
Congrats on your anniversary and finding your prince!
