I save corks from special occasions, like birthdays, NYE, anniversaries, etc. And to represent the 6 years we spent together before tying the knot, I brought 6 corks from miscellaneous special occasions over the years :)
I love this photo :)
Lol...perfuming under my dress. It's just so "us."
Beans' wedding gift for me...a lock and two keys, to be thrown over the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris. I died.
#76: find myself with nothing to do
The morning of the wedding was SO relaxed in terms of timeline, so I literally found myself fully dressed, makeup'd, bejewelled, with about 30 minutes to spare before walking down the aisle.
And also...how perfect is that headline lol?
One of the highlights of my entire life...walking down the aisle with my father.
We said personalized vows to each other (which made us both laugh because it was the first time we heard them):
RYAN'S VOWS
I promise to love, cherish, and appreciate all
that you do for us and our family.
I promise to protect you from pain, stress, and being sad.
I promise to change the flat tires, empty out the garbage,
and do all of the other miscellaneous "blue activities."
I promise to protect you from birds,
because I know how much you hate them.
I promise to be your nook when you're sleepy. To be your alarm clock in the mornings (but I reserve the right to use Weezy to help...)
I promise that even when it's cold, and I am freshly tucked into bed at midnight, I will always go out to get your puffer from the car when you decide you need it.
I promise to be your Beans, always.
I love you.
MY VOWS
I promise never to call you Ryan,
unless I'm really really mad at you.
I promise to keep your belly filled
with baked goodies (with no raisins).
I promise to watch the weird movies that I love so much,
when I'm alone.
I promise to butter your toast...because you're really really bad at it.
I promise to drive you to work as often as I can,
because I know how much you hate the bus.
I promise to take care of you when you're sick, with the hope that one day I'll be able to take care of you the way you do of me when I'm sick.
I promise to be the best mother
I can be to our family.
I promise to be kind to you, respect you,
and love you...all the days of my life.
I love you.
And wouldn't this be the perfect time to confirm the completion of #1 on my list of 101 in 1001? I thought so :)
#1: get married
Just casually playing volleyball with randoms.
Besties...forever and always.
OMG these dashing gentlemen...
The "beans face" made an appearance. Just once. I am proud.
#83: give a toast
Not only did I give a toast...but I gave a toast and cried pretty much the whole way through lol. Just kidding, I think I managed alright.
And like I tell my clients, who doesn't like a teary Bride?!
Love :)
