One Year!

A year ago in the last paragraph of our Wedding Essentials feature, I wrote:

"I wanted a dream wedding. But Art gave me more than that. He was my dream partner, which is more important a thousand times over. Sometimes, all the excitement and anticipation of planning a wedding can make us forget about the real essence and even the sanctity of the wedding day itself. Every bride dreams of a beautiful wedding, but marriage is more than just the wedding day itself. It’s not just a one-day affair but also a lifelong commitment. I’m lucky to be married to someone who gives me a good reason to look forward to every tomorrow knowing that life is even more beautiful now that I have someone to share it with."

The year has gone by pretty fast for us, and we have been blessed especially with the arrival of our little bundle of joy. *Hurrah for honeymoon babies!* There are so many things to be thankful for, but today I am most thankful that I am married to the most wonderful man I could ever meet in my life (until my boys grow up ;p).

Thank you sweetheart for making sure that I am showered with love everyday, even though we're a thousand miles apart. I wake up everyday grateful to Him for giving me not just a husband but a best friend as well. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and most of all support. It's only been a year and I know there's still a lot more we have to learn about each other, but every new thing I learn about you just makes me love you even more.

I can't believe it's been a year since one of the happiest and most important days in our lives. Thank you, baby for being the truly amazing person that you are. You are everything I will ever want and need in this life. :) Looking at our wedding pictures never fails to remind me of the sheer joy and excitement coupled with unexplainable high that I felt on that day. It's a feeling that I will always always want to look back to and remember, especially if we one day hit a rough patch (which is inevitable "daw" but I hope we won't ever).

I love you so much, Art! Happy First Wedding Anniversary to us! :)
