April 22nd, 2012.
This is the day we got married. And it's hard to believe a year has already gone by. But time flies when you are having fun, right?!
It isn't that marriage has been perfect or simple or happy all of the time. It hasn't been those things everyday this year. The amount of work and communication and love and selflessness and sacrifice can be so astounding at times, and not even the greatest pastor or counselor can prepare you for the work involved. But the result of all those beautiful things and the mess that comes with it is so worth it. There aren't many words to describe this "result" and not that its even a result, because marriage is something to be worked on and cherished every moment of every day. And the stuff it teaches you about yourself is crazy! Depressing at times, but all really good stuff. All I know and hope is that marriage is supposed to glorify God, and I pray that it helps mold Gabe and I into the people that we are supposed to be.
So in commemoration of this wonderful day in our lives, I share this video with you. If you came to the wedding or didn't, this gives you a short glimpse of what went on that day. A HUGE THANKS to Teejay and Ryan B. for doing this and making a beautiful product. I recommend them for wedding videography and photography. Check them out!
