3rd Wedding Anniversary

On Wednesday, January 18th, D. and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary! I remember back to that day almost three years ago, waking up early and all the girls in the house (eight of us) going to the beauty saloon opened just for us on Sunday. I was so worried about what to eat that morning and wondering if I would pass out in church at the 12 o'clock wedding ceremony, Mass included, or whether cry my eyes out because of all the emotion of the moment. I ended up doing well! Didn't faint, didn't starve to death and didn't cry much, just a little bit when we were leaving, walking down the aisle. Managed to pay some attention to the homily, got to say all the words I had to pronounce, clearly and smiling, and didn't have any moment of doubt about the commitment I was about to seal.

At the party I was so tired, tense and hurting from my tight dress that I couldn't barely enjoy it! Some little things went wrong and I remember all of them. But, at the end, D. took the microphone and prepared to make a speech. I had prepared one myself too. But he was first! I was wondering if I could bare all the attention and self embarrassment for me and for D.. But, again, no problem, just over thinking again. D. did a great job on his speech. It was funny and smart at the same time, clear and loud and made me feel I was special and appreciated. Then my turn, and I did a terrible job, mostly because no one could hear me except for D.. But I think he enjoyed my almost silent words to him!

D.'s amazing speech

My terrible speech, face matching it!

But it's all right at the end!


I'm not gonna lie! Married life is not easy! At least not for me! We have discussed and argued so many times already regarding many things and seeing each other that much and living together can make you lose all the charm and smiling faces we would naturally throw each together all the time while dating!

I guess I have to agree with that song, "I'm feeling you" (Santana and Michelle Branch):

" Sometimes I imagine the world without you
But most time I'm just so happy that I ever found you "

But it's all worth!! The peace that only the true love can bring makes everything right and happy at the end! Having a baby together? Only makes it better and more true!
