Unexpected Gifts

There are some days that you know are going to be special just because they are special days. And then at some point down the road they become so precious you can't believe you did not see it at the time. My wedding was one of those days.

Who doesn't hold their wedding as a special, beautiful day in their heart? But I was blessed beyond measure. And I was blessed to have a photographer who captured pictures I would later hold onto, my heart swelling with love. And I was blessed to have my guests write messages of love/advice to us and blessed that two beloved people wrote on them.




"Always remember that the person you've married is the closest witness to your life and you are to theirs. Both of your lives are precious."
Aunt Teresa







"Love is something so divine description would but make it less it's something you can feel inside but words cannot express."
Bill Vanderlaan





And I am blessed again, I don't know if this was on purpose or not but I feel that it was God's gift to me either way. I was given some of my beloved Aunt's clothing, as we could wear each other's clothes, and one of the dresses that came was this one.





The one she wore to my wedding. I have been so blessed.



I am a tangible person, I like things to touch and hold. I love that I have their handwriting, special notes to me, love notes to me. I have something of them to hold until, I pray, I can hold them again in heaven.
