Happy First Anniversary to us! It's hard to believe this year has gone by so fast, but I have loved every minute of it! I feel so blessed to have found the love of my life, and I can't wait to continue to share my life with Joel and look forward to all of our adventures together. This year has brought so many wonderful surprises in just getting to know each other even more and learning all of our little quirks.

I found this part of our vows and am reminded of the many happily married couples we know and seeing the way they nourish themselves and their marriage, and how important it is for us to do this every day.

"Dedication, love, and happiness can grow only when you nourish them together. Stand fast in that hope, having faith in your shared future, just as strongly as you have faith in yourselves and in one another today. Only with this spirit can you forge a union that will strengthen and endure all the days of your lives.

We hope that the words and spirit of our gathering may be filled with a truth that will sharpen with the passing years. We hope, too, that the meaning of the vows that Joel and Lisa are about to share with one another will deepen as well, as they discover the endless possibilities of life together. "

 

Aside from the beginning of our journey as husband and wife, I'm still in awe of our beautiful wedding day, how very special and meaningful it was, and how much help my mom and my sister were, and how everything came together so perfectly. Since you never really can have enough pictures, here a few more!
