4 years ago, on 10-27-2007, I walked down the dimly lit isle of my church, each step jingled as I proudly wore my personally made white flip flops with wedding bells on the top. I remember clutching my bouquet of red roses nervously yet excitedly as I looked forward and smiled. I can still recall the pounding in my heart as the man who I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with stared back at me with loving deep brown eyes, and smiled. We could feel the tension between us, as I neared the alter and my father raised my veil, tears swelling in his eyes, essentially giving his youngest baby girl to a man he now trusts with my life. After we said our vows and tolerated the preacher's long winded speech, we were finally pronounced husband and wife and kissed, completely & utterly happy that we achieved our happily ever after and would now spend countless moments together until death do us part. :)
I wanted to do a lil something special for my anniversary and I actually did this sketch based off of one of my wedding pictures.

I know it's not entirely accurate, but either way I'm very happy with the result :)
To all my fellow peeps who are seeking true love... I know I'm pretty young in comparison to some of ya'll, and I know I got married at the extremely young age of 18 years old, but I will say this. Love will find you someday, and usually in the most unlikely of places you expect. Who would of thought that a snarky comment about this man's smoking habit (who was a stranger then) would lead me to have a ring on my finger and announce my undying love for him? ;) There are rough times, yes, cause anyone's who married and says they never argue is full of shite. We have our bumps and disagreements, and although I've cried and he's gotten frustrated, we know that without each other, we would go insane and fall into a deep sadness. The difference between a happy marriage and a doomed one is when you can get over that hill and look each other in the eyes and not think "Well I won this argument." No, that is not a happy marriage. A happy married couple, even after an argument, will look each other and say their apologies, even if we don't know for what reasons, and go to bed without anger or hurt.
Sorry for my soap box, but these are the truths I've learned in just my short 4 years of married life. It can be frustrating, crazy, but beautiful and fulfilling at the same time. I love you, Eric, and I will always be by your side until the end of our days.
