Happy anniversary to us!

Today is Hubby and my six year wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's gone by so quickly- it feels like it JUST happened. But when you think that our flowergirl was three and will now be turning ten, and that we now have two children, it makes sense. It just feels like it went by so fast!

I remember getting into my wedding dress that day. My mom was teary-eyed. I had my hair all done up and my nails done. My bridesmaids helped me with my dress and getting my shoes on. The limo had a red carpet and my parents and I posed for pictures just before getting into the car. The ride was short, but just enough time to get really excited.

As I was waiting to walk down the aisle with my dad, he got all teary-eyed, too. I can't remember the last time I'd ever seen my dad cry. Strangely, it made me all misty, too. But fortunately we pulled it together before walking down that aisle. And once we arrived to Hubby, my dad said, "She's all yours!"

I don't remember the music I had hand-picked. The candle wouldn't light because of a light breeze. I barely remember our vows. But I do remember exchanging the rings and finally getting to kiss Hubby as his wife. The ceremony was short, but to the point. Our reception was also a little bit of a blur, but I remember feeling so happy that the people I cared about most in the world all came together in one room (finally!) to share our special day.

It's funny- out of all that (the dress, the ceremony, the limo, the reception), the thing I remember most is climbing into our rinky-dink Ford Focus and driving down to Boston to spend the night. That's exactly why I got married- not to get all dressy and say special vows in front of everyone. I got married to spend the mundane time with Hubby. That's what I love most about us, how we can just hang out and do anything together and have fun. I don't need a special veil and a plate of fancy wedding cake. All I really need is him. And after everything we've gone through these past six years, the one thing that has stayed the same is us.

Happy anniversary, Hubby!!
