For starters I have not felt overly attractive since gaining weight but I felt like a knock out on our wedding day and looking at the pictures I still think I look like a knock out. And it feels good.
Also, the day was perfect for me. We had a small ceremony and a nice reception at my dad's house. It was laid back and that is who we are- it was just perfect.
I never thought I would get married. I used to get asked often how someone like me wasn't married yet- not sure how you are supposed to take that but regardless I got asked often. I had no desire to wed, I hardly would date. If I got asked out I would rather go out with friends then go on a date.
When I met Zach I was smitten from the beginning- there was just something about him I was drawn to. I enjoyed being around him but we didn't start dating until a little over 2 years after we met.
I can still perfectly remember our first kiss- I remember my stomach being tied in knots and not wanting the kiss to end. I remember the first morning I woke up next to him and how great it felt- how natural it felt.
I remember when he proposed and how I knew he wasn't someone I could just live with, he was someone I just couldn't live without.
I remember his face when I told him I was pregnant, how sweet he was while I was pregnant and how understanding he was when I would cry over nothing.
And I can remember seeing him for the first time down the aisle from me.
He is an amazing man and I am so happy to look back on our wedding day because it was not about the day but about the marriage and our promise to have each others back. To fight for our relationship. To stand up for each other. To raise our children as a united front. To respect each others needs, desires and interests.
It is very easy in a marriage to get a little complacent and forget to say "I love you.' Forget to say thank you and you look nice today....and those are very important words.
I adore Zach and I am blessed he is my husband.
