One year as Mr. and Mrs. :)

On this day exactly one year ago I said I do forever to my Danny Jay. 

I remember the day like it was yesterday.

I remember standing in the Bride room anticipating forever. I remember wanting peace and quiet so that I could take in everything that was happening and most importantly about to begin.   

I remember Joe, walking by the Bride room to see me. We both burst into tears; this was the most emotional part of the day for me. It was a surreal moment. He told me I looked beautiful, and that Danny was a lucky man. We walked towards the doors to enter the church. I knew our happy beginning was just a few moments away. I could hardly contain my excitement.

I remember losing it even more when I saw Danny Jay’s face. That sweet look that I remember so vividly from the first time we met. His eyes say so much.

I remember hugging my mom before I took Danny’s hand. For a second I didn’t want to let go. I dreamed of this day, imagined every second and every detail, but never did I imagine that for a second my mind would flood with memories of me and my mom. You always think the big day is just about the what is to come, your future, but for me it was a great deal about the past as well, about the people who helped me reach this day, the ones that taught me to love by showing me unconditional love, especially my momma.

I remember bowing my head while standing at the altar as we prayed with Lee. I remember glancing up at Danny and feeling so in love, so blessed, so complete, so full of anticipation of what life was going to bring us.

I remember lighting our unity candle as we listened to T-ray sing the most beautiful song, the most perfect song for what I felt at that moment because there we stood, in that moment, promising to give all we were to each other, completely adoring each other.  We prayed as we stood back there, prayed for God to lead us in our journey, praised him for bringing us together, and for how much he had already changed and blessed our lives.

We said I do one year ago today. I took my husband’s hand that day, and he has led me so carefully, passionately, and lovingly through the entire year. I know he’ll do this forever because he is my soul mate, my other half. Sometimes it feels like I’m oil and my other half is water, but he is my best friend, he knows me just as well as my momma does, he knows what I need, what I love, what I fear. Nobody knows where exactly you will go in life, but I know exactly who I will be standing next to and that is exactly where I need to be.
