Welp, it’s over. A year and a half worth of planning, and it’s
over. And honesty, I feel like I can breathe again. Bittersweet.
Do I ‘feel’ different ? Maybe a little. I’m just finally
complete. It’s awesome, knowing you will be with someone forever. And who
better to spend forever with than my best friend?
Love is a crazy thing… One day, you are playing mini golf as
friends, and the next thing you know, you are so head-over-heels in love, they
are all you think about every day. The kind of I-can’t-wait-for-this-work-day-to-end-to-see-you
kind of love. I have this love. Not to say that the new, shiny ring around my
finger validates what I feel in my heart, but as our minister said at the
ceremony, it’s a symbol. We are complete. We don’t belong to each other, we
belong with each other.
August 31, 2012, was and will always be one of the most
memorable days of my life, filled with so much love and support from 300 friends
and family.
Best.Day.Ever.
Perfection doesn’t even begin to describe it. Everything
just fell into place. All my worrying, panic attacks, terrible dreams were for
not. We pulled it off. We put together an amazing day to share with amazing
people. And it was perfect.
Nick and I have been blessed with two of the most loving and
supportive families. We have them to thank for being such incredible role
models and providing us with prime examples of what true love is and should be.
30 years from now, I imagine my feelings will be no
different. I am complete. I can breathe. I can take on the rest of my life with
my best friend - new experiences and adventures to look forward to as husband
and wife. (A week and a half later, I am certainly not used to the word Husband
or being called Mrs. Irvine).
A new chapter… I am now a Working Wife!
