I will remember the sweet faces of everyone looking back at me when I arrived at the top of the steps, the strum of the uke, and an overwhelming gratitude for every single thing in my life that had led me to you.
The first half-year of marriage has shown me so many new colors of love. We’ve spent 182 trips around the sun as husband and wife. We’ve been to at least 5 states, Cuba and Jamaica, learned how to swing dance, we’ve started 2 businesses and you have mastered the way I like my coffee! June 5th marks 6 months since we stood in the sand and promised to share one life together, and while I don’t remember every single detail, there are key aspects of the day that I will forever hold in my heart.
I will always remember how you reminded me that no matter how crazy things got, at the end of this we will be married and together, and that’s all that matters. I felt like a princess when I stepped into the dress of my dreams, only possible by the loving votes of airline crew family. I’ll remember how much I laughed with your sister when she presented me with your beautiful gift. I will remember the sweet faces of everyone looking back at me when I arrived at the top of the steps, the strum of the uke, and an overwhelming gratitude for every single thing in my life that had led me to you. I will remember that when you took my hand from my dad, I felt like you would always do everything you could to take care of me, to love me and to water the garden that is our marriage. I’ll never forget how open my heart was when I told you I would love you forever. We made the same joke in the vows we wrote separately, and it seemed like the universe was winking at us. Your parents were balling their eyes out because they love us so much. I will remember how you almost kissed me before my cousin pronounced us husband and wife. Audrey held a beautiful bird’s nest with our rings in it. I will never forget that a bird flew across the sky behind us during our first kiss. You were kind with our first bite of wedding cake. I’ll remember that my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing.
I’ll remember that before we were married, Mamita said something that stuck with me during one of our chats, and it made me want to marry you even more… “People forget how great it can be to have a long lasting relationship with one person, how beautiful it can be to share your entire life with someone.” Life with you is really beautiful, and I’m so thankful for the time we have together. Thank you for loving me, even when I’m not shining so bright. I would say “I Do” again and again!! Happy 6 Months Anniversary, Hubz Caps!
