6 months

6 months ago today

i stood next to my father behind two large wooden doors.

i heard the piano begin

i took a deep breath

and the doors opened.

there

at the end of the aisle

stood my sweet bennett.

i barely remember anything.

not the people

not the photographer

not the temperature of the chapel.

all i remember is the way the music sounded in my ears

the way the sunlight poured through the windows

and the way it felt to lock eyes with him

knowing he was my husband

and my best friend

and he would love me

and keep me safe

till death do us part.

i remember choking through my vows

and the way it felt to finally kiss my husband.

i remember walking back down the aisle

hand in hand

and being led to a room 

so we could have a few minutes to ourselves.

but most of all

i remember that door shutting behind us 

and how the tears streamed down our cheeks

and we were so incredibly happy

words cannot even explain it.

these past 6 months have been the most challenging

and the most rewarding months of my life.

we have grown closer than i knew possible.

some days i love him so much

that it hurts.

it honest to goodness hurts.

i can't imagine my life without him.

happy 6 months

my love.

thank you for absolutely everything.
