The day before To death do us part.

13 years ago I was SUPER excited! Setting up the church with a white runner and the hall with bud vases filled with red roses. The sweet days before Pinterest and Say Yes to the Dress, when weddings were a bit more simple and had a lot less to be compared to. A day of wearing a seesucker white dress  and pink glittery sandals. A day of holding my dad's arm as he practiced walking me down the aisle and then beaming at Josh as we practiced our vows and walked up and down the aisle ten times. An evening at my parents house enjoying steak on the grill and swimming with friends and family. A day of girl talk giggling as I got to have sex for the first time ever the VERY NEXT DAY!  And of course a day of singing "I'm getting Married in the morning" on repeat the entire day.  Super excited. So young. So naive. So blessed. So in love.

13 years ago today... the day before we vowed before God, family and friends......to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health ........... until death do us part.

I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord. Hosea 2:19-20
