I have watched this video more than a handful of times and each time I cry. One regret I have from that day is that I didn't allow myself to enjoy it enough. Trying not to get caught up in the little details and how you want things to follow through is hard, especially with how my brain works. But I am grateful that we have amazing photos and this video to remind us of how perfect the day was.
I've been married for almost 5 months now and I'll be completely honest and admit that we've past the honeymoon stage. There are definitely challenging moments. But they are good challenging moments. Arguments are sparse but when they happen, we have managed by the guidance of God to successfully work through them together. We learn every day that it's hard work, and it's not always just about being happy or making each other happy - which we've realized has been such an important lesson for us. Every day, I learn more and more about myself as his wife and the ways I can serve him rather than always expecting him to "serve" me. I also feel grateful that as we've started on our journey in marriage we've had an amazing community group full of other newly wed couples and amazing couple as our mentor. We are beyond blessed, and are absolutely excited for the new chapter in our marriage that God is currently preparing us for.
