With This Ring

Last night was just a normal evening. I talked to my hubby on the phone, just chatting and recounting our day. He tends to get sleepy towards the end of our talk and we say goodnight, then I usually get up and hit my bedtime routine and then get some shuteye myself. After our talk, I got up and washed my face and brushed my teeth and took my vitamins. 

On my walk back to my bedroom, I just caught a glimpse of my engagement and wedding rings sparkling on my hand. How much I had always wanted someone to put that ring on my finger. But it couldn’t be just anyone, it had to be the person who was my best friend and my soul mate, forever and ever. That little glimpse just made me so thankful for that and so thankful for my husband.

My rings are so unique and I think it represents our marriage well. We have been so fortunate to find “our person” so young and to have grown so strong through everything we’ve been through. They are my most prized material possession. 

They are beautiful, but most importantly they remind me of the blessed marriage we get to share for the rest of our lives. 

How lovely that one split second, one little glimpse, can make me so thankful and remind me what a beautiful thing my marriage is. 

XOXO

A Silly Little Wedding Story

I’ve always loved “the dip” at weddings. I think it is super cute and romantic and makes for great pictures. So part of our preparation for our wedding, of course, was practicing the dip. And we just had to practice in the place best for practicing dancing: the kitchen! 

We practiced several times before the wedding, but never really said “okay we are definitely doing this.” 

Flash forward to wedding day. We were both so nervous right before we walked down the aisle, but once we got up there, we were locked in on each other. Nothing else mattered. 

I knew the ceremony was wrapping up. Towards the very end I looked up at my hubs and whispered/mouthed “Are you going to do it?” Because of course I had to put my hands and everything in the right spot to be able to pull it off. 

Now what my husband heard was “Do it!” I’m glad he did because he wasn’t going to do it! We heard “You may kiss the bride” and we pulled it off! It turned out that that dip created one of my favorite pictures of our whole wedding, so I’m pleased with our little miscommunication. 

XOXO Em.
