Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart.
Bryan and I were married 8 years ago today, in a beautiful nighttime winter wedding.
The sanctuary was adorned with Christmas greens, trees, lights, red roses, and poinsettias.
Our parents helped us plan the most perfect ceremony for us, and our siblings stood on stage as our maid of honor, best man, and groomsmen.
The music, the message, and all the details are still very fresh in my mind. My mom and sister still tease me for the crazy qualities I exhibited planning the details, shopping for the dress, and so on. I am thankful to them for helping making the day perfect for us. Bryan was calm and cool, with a huge smile at the front of the church and I was shaky with tears the whole way down the isle.
The ceremony was just what we wanted. Our parents blessed our union, the music was moving, with a duet sung by my brother and sister, a message that was special and vows and rings that symbolized our deep love.
We trotted down the isle as a new couple to the organ blaring, just as I'd always imagined! We celebrated with family and friends for hours at a wonderful reception.
My family gained a fantastic guy that day, and I have been blessed beyond words to have become a Stucky. We are so very thankful for our families.
Eight years seems like a long time as I think back to all the things that have happened in that time, but it also seems like just yesterday.
