the wedding was only the beginning

The wedding day was only the beginning, it really was. On that day we were transformed from two people who loved each other into one entity made up of two individuals -- we were Us, the two of us, for the rest of our lives. We looked at each other and thought we knew each other, thought we loved each other so much there couldn't possibly be love greater than what we felt. And we were so wrong. What we have today is better, stronger, more passionate, more loving, more compassionate, more friendly, and happier in every way. Added to the basic giddy adoration we had for each other in the beginning, we now have a history of hundreds of shared joys and sorrows which have knit us closer together and given us a greater understanding of each other.

And of course we have three beautiful people in our lives -- two in person and one in memory -- given to us by God, who have made our lives (and other people's lives too) so much brighter. We are so blessed that I can't even get my mind around the size of it.

The past ten years have been an amazing gift. Here's to as many more as God will give us...
