I'm So Glad


It felt like we were on the edge of everything. The day of the wedding felt surreal, it felt wonderful and it felt extreme. The whole weekend made both Jason and I feel more connected, stronger and more in love than ever before. But what I've been thinking about most lately were the quiet moments shared between the time we left the church in the limo and arrived at the reception.

We looked at each other like it was the first time. Seeing each other in a wedding dress, tuxedo, veils -- it was almost as if it was a completely new person, but so familiar. It was the strangest feeling to see someone you've looked at over and over for seven years, and they now fill a completely new space. An amazing, fun, exciting space. What an incredibly new feeling! Our first few moments shared as husband and wife, driving through the summer rain, have made the last few months so sweet and close to my heart.

I'm sure all newly married couples have felt this way. That everything great is ahead of them and they have all the time in the world to enjoy it. I'll never forget those moments, nor the million others shared over that muggy weekend in May.
