As you saw in my previous blog, the family and I just got back from a beautiful family wedding in Mississippi. There is nothing that turns me into a blubber fest more than a wedding- especially a family member’s wedding! I turn into complete mush, tear up, my heart races, because I know what a big deal it is to say those vows and how much it truly means to take on that commitment. So the whole thing makes me emotional- happy emotional, but with tears.
I know marrying my husband was definitely the BEST decision I’ve made in my life. I second guess a lot of things, but never did I second guess this one when he asked me to marry him. And I took that decision to be his wife and take his name very seriously. The preacher at this past wedding said something that completely stuck with me (forgive me if I don’t get this quote exact!). He made sure that the couple was agreeing to marry each other for who they were at that moment, and that they should not be marrying each other in order to change one another down the road. For better OR for worse, to the max. I know after 10 years of marriage, that trying to accomplish the “perfect” marriage or mate is exhausting, useless, and unimportant. Nobody is perfect, and perfection is boring and unrealistic. So marrying someone for who they are deep to their core, is the best way to love.
I am happily married, through the good times and the bad, and I am so happy that through the ups and downs, I have Scott by my side. My marriage makes me feel beautiful when I feel ugly. No makeup products necessary! Thank goodness for our marriage because my kids wouldn’t be here if I didn’t marry him- they were a really nice, beautiful, and loving bonus!! And our lives would not be as exciting as they are now!
What about your marriage makes you feel most beautiful??!
