I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just had my hair and make-up finished and it hit me all at once that that day I was going to marry my best friend and I started crying tears of happiness. Of course that wasn’t ideal for my make-up lady but I couldn’t help it. I was overjoyed that this day, our day had come.

Every girl dreams of their big day. But for some reason I always doubted that I would get my fairytale ending. I didn’t think someone could handle all of my craziness, my need for everything to be perfect, my need to plan and organize, and my crazy breakdowns. But you have been there through it all, my highs, my lows, breakdowns, my tears, my laughter, and everything in between. You are my rockstar! I still can’t believe that I was so lucky to have found my soul mate. My partner for life and best friend all wrapped into one guy – yet at the same time it feels like years ago.

That day, our wedding day, was our first milestone as husband and wife, and it’ll always be my favorite. That day was absolutely perfect and everything I dreamed it to be!

Now after 2 years, what I have learned is that marriage is tough. Marriage is giving everything that you have to the other person and making them feel loved, cared for, and your whole world. It is compromising on every level. It is having that person that will be there for you no matter what. Marriage is a partnership agreement that I am going to do life with you, this life, our life! We aren’t perfect and we have our low points. But I love the way we compliment one another and work together to get through anything. I love that you make me laugh when I am mad at you and I just can’t stay mad anymore. I love that you are my husband and I can’t wait for many more wedding anniversaries.

Happy Anniversary TJ!
