THE DAY WAS WONDERFUL AND SO VERY PERFECT. NO GLISTENING SUN. CLOUDS ABOUND. THE RAIN LOOMING. BUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND LOVE EVERYWHERE.
AS I OPENED THE DOOR, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT MORNING, A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUE LOVE STOOD AT THE DOOR. MY CLOSEST AND DEAREST FRIEND. THE FRIEND THAT HAS STOOD BY ME IN THE PAST 3 YRS, THAT I HAVE CLIMBED MOUNTAINS WITH, AND HAVE SOARED ON THE WINGS OF FREEDOM WITH, STOOD IN FRONT OF ME. SHE WAS THERE FOR ME. NOT BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY DAY FOR HER, BUT BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME AND LOVES MY CHILDREN, AND WANTED THE DAY TO BE SPECIAL FOR ALL OF US.
THAT IT WAS. IT WAS PERFECT. SHE DID OUR HAIR, HELPED WITH OUR MAKE-UP, SMILED FOR THE CAMERAS, SIGNED THE MARRIAGE LICENSE FOR ME, AND HELPED TO MAKE THE DAY A WONDER.
THEN THE TIME ARRIVED. BEYOND THE POINT THAT THE FRENCH DOORS OPENED, I COULDN'T TELL YOU FOR SURE WHO SAT WHERE. ALL I COULD SEE WAS THE MAN OF MY DREAMS, THE ANSWER TO MY DEEPEST PRAYERS, LANCE. MY BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL LANCE. THE MAN THAT MAKES LIFE SO FULFILLING FOR ME, THE MAN THAT EVERY DAY IS THERE FOR MY DAUGHTERS. TO MAKE THEM FEEL PROUD OF THEMSELVES, HAPPY IN THIS LIFE, CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN BE ANYTHING THAT THEY WANT TO BE.
THE CEREMONY SAID IT ALL. IT SAID EVERYTHING IT POSSIBLY COULD ABOUT US, ABOUT OUR HOPES AND DREAMS FOR OUR FUTURE. ABOUT OUR LOVE.
THE DAY WAS AMAZING!
THE ENTIRE WEEK TRULY DID TEACH ME THE UNSELFISH ACTIONS OF SO MANY PEOPLE. THE TRUE GOOD OF SO SO MANY...

I'm so glad that it was everything you wanted and that it will be a day that you can look back on and recall with such love and wonder....you are blessed.
So sorry!!! I looked at the pictures several days ago but never took the time to say what I was thinking. The wedding pictures are beautiful! It looks as if you had a wonderful day to remember!
