"Good Morning Beautiful" is what I wake up to most days, or get as a text, or email, or facebook message. This morning, I woke up to a text that said "love love love beautiful wife of mine".
My favorite part of our wedding was the 15 minutes I was standing at the end of the garden saying my vows to my husband. It was the only time that the whole world faded away. It was me and him and at that moment it was the first and only time it was completely us. We wrote our own vows and they were perfect. We both cried and had the perfect kiss and the perfect dip. To read about our wedding details you can visit my post here. I wrote about it for our first wedding anniversary which we had Aug 2, 2010.
In order to not completely be pessimistic talking about my own wedding I want to talk about where I see ourselves on our 50th wedding anniversary. I'll be 71 and he will be 75. Wow, that seems so far off but I know it will go by fast. I do know when we renew our vows I want it just to be the two of us.
Unless we have some pretty amazing kids who don't drive me insane by then, then they can come :) I honestly hope we don't change too much. My goal in my marriage is to be just as much in love with my husband as the first day I met him.
I want us to have all our personality quirks, to bicker, and most of all to love to kiss and smack each others butts. Gross right? I think the best marriages are the ones where you can tell how absolutely in love the couple still are 20, 30, even 50 years down the road. You know the movie The Notebook. I want to be like them when we die.
I want to look back on our life together and know we fought, kissed, cried, and loved each other completely. Why? Because it wouldn't be life without him. He's my best friend, my lover, and the man that steals my heart and can make me cry from shear love. I want us to live our marriage to the fullest and at the end of the day he still texts me "kiss kiss kiss" or "love love love" or tells me he loves me "whole whole whole whole whole bunches" I want my last breath to be with him calling him "Handsome" and me "Beautiful"
So while our wedding day wasn't perfect and has more bad memories than good, I have the most perfect person because of it, and we can laugh about it now that it is over. He's my soul mate, my hero, my husband.
