It Will Be We.

March 19, 2011

I will never forget my wedding day. I know that people say that all the time and I count myself among them. For those of you who know JJ and I well, you know that we come from a long, beautiful history. Since I met him,  JJ was the man that I dreamed of, prayed for and believed in. Our wedding day truly felt like 2 best friends who knew each other better than anyone, who had seen the ugliest sides of one another, coming together  out of grace, love, selflessness and a deep friendship. I could have wished for nothing more than experiencing our bond before God with all of our family and friends watching, joining and sharing. To top it off, JJ wrote all of our music for the ceremony, including my processional. I couldn't have imagined having any other artist's music playing:) The night ended in perfect down to earth fashion....with a trip to Mickey D's.








We left for our honeymoon in Mexico the next morning. We had a blast snorkling, having spa day and just relaxing. I couldn't believe how tired we were; Weddings send you into such zombie mode that you are oblivious to how tired and wiped you actually are. On the contrary, honeymoons are quite good for shedding light on the subject. While we had fun partaking in events, I think the best part was learning how to be married. Our honeymoon felt for both of us like a gentle initiation into a very supernatural phenomenon. We were both surprised at how instantly united we felt, how much we felt the need to pray, converse and be present. It was very clear that what had just taken place on that Saturday before, those vows that were exchanged, were meant to draw us out of ourselves, closer to God and closer to one another.

And the two shall become one...
