Happy One Year to Us!

♥♥♥It's hard to believe that a year ago, we were just one day away from saying our "I do"s and now we're getting ready to celebrate our first anniversary.

September 20, 2008 was the greatest time of our lives and it is a day that we will always remember and hold dear and close to our hearts. And I wanted to share with you all my very favorite part of our entire day that I will remember forever.

My favorite memory is when I started walking down the aisle and I locked eyes with my husband to be for the very first time. It was a very surreal feeling I cannot put into words. And from that point on, I didn't see anything else. I didn't see any of the guests or the wedding party. It was all a blur. But one thing that I do remember is not being able to stop smiling. (I smiled so much that much cheeks literally hurt the next day.)

I’ll never forget standing there at the altar with my husband and feeling the impact of the words we said. We gazed intently into each other’s eyes, soaking up every word. And then came the best part. *We were pronounced man and wife.

In that moment everything else faded and it was just him and I lost in the moment. It was our day. It was perfect.

And this past year has truly been a whirlwind of many new beginnings for us. I cannot wait many, many more years to come. One year down, forever to go...

So I leave you with a slideshow of our special day :)

Enjoy!

p.s. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! I will be back with our anniversary recap and plenty of pictures.
