5 Years!

Today is our 5 year anniversary!! That doesn't hardly seem possible, does it?

But when I think of all that we've gone through these past 5 years... it kinda feels like it should have been longer! There have been plenty of good times and we've had our fair share of the bad times, but all in all, I wouldn't change anything about our time together. In the end it all brought us to where we are now - and we are so happy right now. 

Everything is right. Life is good. God is good.  I love my husband more every day and I can't hardly wait to see what the next 50+ brings us :) 

 So, in honor of our wedding FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO here's a small snippet of our wedding day. I was going through old emails the other day and came across our vows... so I thought I'd put them here with a few pictures. 

I can remember parts of that day like it were yesterday, and others I had completely forgotten about until I looked through all of these pictures again, so it was fun to relive that beautiful day in June and let my mind take me back.

Enjoy! :) 

I love you. You are my best friend.

Today I give myself to you in marriage.

I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you,
and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.

I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard.

These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.

 

These rings have no beginning and no end. They set forth the eternal nature of real love. 

 

They will represent the love and trust that we promise to each other this day.

 

I give you this ring as a token of my love and commitment to live with you in a Christian marriage from this day forward. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, amen.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  

 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 

 Love never fails.
