At 2:00 p.m. nine years ago on February 6th, Kevin and I were married at Waterview Church of Christ. Sometimes it seems so long ago, and then when I think about it, I remember so many little details. One of the best parts of that weekend was when we walked into the church building the evening of the rehearsal. Everyone that I loved and cared about the most were all standing in the same room. I can't put into words how awesome it was. It was so much fun and relaxing. I didn't find the whole wedding thing nerve racking at all.
The day of the wedding, after I was dressed in my gown, Kevin and I met in a room by ourselves so he could see me in my dress. It was such a fun and magical time. It took all the pressure and nerves off, and it gave us a special time alone. After that, we were able to take pictures ahead of time. Since the nervousness was gone, I was able to walk down the aisle of the cute little chapel and truly take in and absorb all that was around me with friends and family. It was a very special and bittersweet day for me. I had just lost my precious grandfather barely three months before, and my grandmother, Sassi, was just starting to function again. My uncle, Tom, walked me proudly down the aisle, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Bill Hunter, long time youth minister, married Kevin and I, and we currently live happily ever after.
Being the romantics that we are, after the wedding and reception was all over, Kevin and I drove through McDonald's to get something to eat. Now that I think about it, I will ALWAYS have a soft spot for McDonald's. That's where we always got a milkshake every Tuesday after our parenting/childbirth classes, it was a place to eat before my grandfather's funeral, and where we frequent on our long travels to visit family.
So, even though I'm sitting here with the remnents of the flu, transformer cars and Dora sunglasses on my desk, and my husband playing computer games behind me at his computer, I must say all in all, I wouldn't change it for the world.
Okay, enough down memory lane. I look forward to spending at least 50 more years with the best man in the world.
I love you, Kevin
