Four Years and Counting

Four years ago today, the Hubs and I tied the knot.  It was an amazing, overwhelming, fulfilling, stunning, intense, joyous, emotional, incredible experience, and I am happy to say that the feelings that were so palpable that day are still very much alive and kicking, even if sometimes muted by the demands of everyday life with a toddler.

In honour of our anniversary, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and link up with Natalie at Mommy of a Monster & Twins for Down the Aisle. 



To me, this photo just sums up that "Phew, we did it!" feeling.  The formal part was over with and now it was time to relax, mingle, eat and drink.  We had our guests throw rose petals instead of rice or confetti and I love how our photographer caught them mid-air as well as strewn on the floor. 

The picture was also taken right before my friend's older brother decided to form a handful of petals into a hard, compact little ball and whip it at me as hard as he could from close range (which, sadly, didn't get caught on camera).  So there's that.

To my dear Hubs: happy fourth anniversary!  I'm usually pretty wordy and enjoy heavy over-use of adjectives (see first paragraph above), but today I can sum up our marriage pretty succinctly: it just works.  And that joy that our photographer captured in this photo?  I still feel it, and much, much more.
