We are One

I’m off to celebrate our wedding anniversary at an undisclosed (to me) location! This will be my longest separation from VC, but thankfully my big sis is here to watch the girls so I’m not worried. That, and I’m pretty sure we’re going somewhere within a short drive.

Photographing weddings and celebrating this milestone has me thinking about my own wedding day. My favorite part was definitely the ceremony. Our priest gave such a personal and loving homily and while I don’t remember the exact words he used, I do recall how honored we felt to hear them spoken to us and our families. Ironically, we have only a few pictures taken from way back in the church because I insisted on NO PICTURES during the ceremony! I wanted that moment to be sacred and I didn’t want cameras in my face and especially no flashes popping…

I try to remember this when I’m lurking around during other people’s magic moment, to get the picture but not get in the way.

I’m so looking forward to some alone time with my husband! Our wedding rings are inscribed with the words, “We Are One” because we promised each other that whatever distractions came our way – children included – our bond comes first. So far, so good! And a little alone time sure helps.

This doesn’t mean we don’t adore our girls, but we say, “Happy Marriage = Happy Kids.” And that seems like a good equation to me.
