"Falling in love with him wasn't falling at all.
It was walking into a house, then knowing I'm home."
Glad I'm finally getting our wedding reception video on the new blog! 3 1/2 years later, but hey, better late than never right? This was a very happy day. (Aug-3-2013) Our reception celebration, 1 month after being married. It's funny you know, because I remember wanting everything just right leading up to that day but when that day finally came, all I cared about deep down, were enjoying my day with the love of my life. The whole day was so busy + exhausting that we forgot to even eat the food! It seemed to be 100 degrees outside yet still we danced all night long + thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was so glad my mother could walk me down the "fake isle" (being that this was only a reception.) But that moment was genuine + my happiness was full. Then, also, the moment where my Collin + I got to dance together. I looked into his eyes + time seemed to stop just enough for me to ponder the great man in front of me. Thats when I remember asking myself to ignore the decorations + everyone around us. I asked myself what he truly meant to me. I felt so much love for him. Though I was a little bit of a nervous bride, I felt something telling me that with him I was totally safe + that we were meant to be together forever.
We were + always will be so thankful to everyone that helped us in some way and to all those that made the trip to be there. We were glad so many could make it + we missed those that could not. I see this video + can't help but think of all of our new friends now. All the wonderful friends that we have made as a married couple + how they weren't there. But marriage is great like that. Its a whole new life you form together. New memories you build from day one. I can honestly say that I thought I loved him back then, but I was so new at loving as a new wife. I love my husband so much more now after all we have weathered together. We learned to cleave unto each other and we have become a true family; Caring for one another's well-being more than our own. So for me, this video is a beautiful memory of the celebration of when our life began together. That day, we were still so young + had so much to learn. But we were love struck + crazy for each other. From that day on is what counts so strongly. What we did with that union. Since then we have grown up a lot in a short time. We've grown closer + have been side by side every step of the way. 3 1/2 years later, here we are with a ton of memories + a sweet little baby girl to show for it. Luckily we have made each other laugh every day. He is an even better man. I am an even better woman. + we are just all around much better when we are together. Here's to eternity my love
