one of P's friends got engaged around the same time we did. we were trying to set our date and when we did, we found out there was a problem. the youth retreat was going to be the same weekend and so we had to look into something else. finally when we got the date, february 25, 2005, P called his friend PM to tell him... sad... it ended up that they set theirs on the same date. with some friends it wouldn't have mattered... but both P and PM wanted the other in the wedding. praise God PM and KM were able to change their date, two weeks before ours. funny thing is, their anniversary is now the same as A's birthday. :)
so that's how it started out... and finally six years ago we were married. i was only 24 when i married and i praise God because i always prayed that i would be married before i was 25...
it's kind of sad to remember and think of such a special day by myself... not because i have to, but i know there are definitely things that were only meaningful to us. i'll share a little...
1. we both laughed during the unity candle part because we always wondered what people talk about up there... there we were and i really can't remember what we talked about. i think we talked about the morning and what we did. ha ha...
2. i'm not much of a public anything person... public speaker, public display of affection, public... whatever is public, it really gets me all knotted up and stuff inside, so i told him that i was really not sure about the "now you may kiss your bride". P's response was that if i didn't kiss him after that part then we were going to have trouble on our honeymoon. ha ha... so for the sake of a great honeymoon, i kissed him or was it that i let him kiss me...
3. throughout the ceremony, i would look at him and he wasn't looking at me, so as we watched the wedding video the first time, i told him how he would never look at me.... then there was a part where he looked at me and i wasn't looking at him in the video... of course i didn't live that one down.
4. i really don't wear make-up. there was a time when we were dating and i wore make up, very lightly, to a wedding of P's friends. when i got to his house, i was soooo self-conscious that i didn't realize that someone was in his room and went up and hugged him to bury my face. ha ha... he was surprised since again i'm not a PDF person and there was someone in the room that i didn't even acknowledge. so anyway... on my wedding day i not only wore make up that i usually don't wear, i had fake lashes... it was crazy... when i was waiting for P in the nursery for him to see me for the first time before picture, i remember thinking, oh i'm just going to bury my face again....
i think that's enough. some things you think about...
to remember the day, A and i went ice-skating, ate sushi, watched a movie and then at night, some girls went out with me for dinner and shopping. it was fun.
praise God for a wonderful daughter and great friends.
