![This past weekend, when unexpected thunder storms visited two of our couples on their wedding days, I watched these couples lean on each other in a way that we all have to probably more than we would like throughout our marriages
When we feel overwhelmed or scared or upset or lost
There’s usually a person that you reach for. When we’re little that might be mom and dad. As we grow maybe it’s a trusted friend or sibling. And the older we get, the more we try to do it ourselves. We’ve learned to be self sufficient and deal with challenges on our own
But then, one day, you meet someone that you want to reach for again
The person that you want to lean on, who you trust with your entire world, who feels like home
In David’s vows when we got married he said, “your burdens are no longer yours to bear alone.” And he’s never once faltered on that promise
I saw our couples practice that so clearly and so well last weekend
What a way to confirm that the person you’re meeting at the end of the aisle will always do everything they can to make your days perfect. The big, special ones, but also the normal, routine ones
How lucky to have found your person

I want to be Angie + Niko when I grow up ![Well, now I am a puddle of tears]()
Well, now I am a puddle of tears ![Over the past weekend we celebrated 5 years of marriage and 10 years since I conned David into giving me his phone number
We unplugged and we did all the things we love, which included water slides, independent bookstores, Italian takeout, and building furniture for our new place
And we also thought a lot about how getting to work, together, with love as a career is pretty freaking magical
Your letters and your vows and your promises continually remind us of what’s important and why we keep choosing each other every day
We get to hear speeches from your loved ones which are often packed with wisdom that we get to take home and use in our own marriage
We get to spend our lives surrounded by champagne and glitter and the prettiest flowers in all the land, which is pretty fun in and of itself
But the reason it’s all there, the fact that two people are choosing to build something together—an entire life—that’s the part we feel so grateful to be witnessing
It feels like being constantly surrounded by friend who get it. Friends who get why you gasp dramatically every time he hits the breaks in the car. Friends who get why he throws his clothes *inches* away from the interior of the laundry hamper. Friends who get that you can actually miss someone while they sleep
Here’s to all of the forevers that we get to document 🥂
Here’s to ours ❤️
