Believing
So this time last year I journeyed off by myself to collect my wedding dress. I didn't realise how emotional it would be. Walking out of the shop carrying my dress - I was about to get married. Wow. This was so right. I realised that I'd always hoped to marry but I'm not sure I let myself believe I would. There's a limit to how many times friends can say 'Of course you'll meet someone' and then you don't, and then you do but it doesn't last, and then you don't and then you do - and this time it grows and lasts and you're about to be walking down the aisle to the man you love.

My thoughts also about being married! Although I have over a year to go (374 days to be precise) and already have my wedding dress in my possession. That is a lovely quote from Charlotte Grey and a lovely picture too.
ReplyDeleteAnd it keeps growing and evolving until you wake up one morning and realise that they have become essential to the way you breathe. The realisation still takes me by surprise sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. I'm so glad you got your wedding day and that you appreciate being in love and being married so much. It's very heartwarming! I'm still waiting for my Knight in Shining Armour and sometimes it's hard, and I hardly dare to believe that one day it could be me getting married, but at the same time, it's a lot of fun dreaming about what 'he' could be like while I wait!
ReplyDeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for these beautiful words...sometimes it feels like forever until I will be walking down the aisle:) Thanks for reminding me that all my patience will be rewarded (hopefully)!

Oh gosh - I didn't realise - am so happy for you. He is very lucky whoever he is. I've had 25 years of marriage at the end of August and would recommend it.
ReplyDeleteLovely post. Lovely quote. Hopefully, someday, it'll be me. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's to a lifetime of love and happiness. x
What a beautiful post. I'm so happy for you, and so happy too that you appreciate how happy you are.
ReplyDeleteI actually held a bargain copy of Charlotte Gray in my hands yesterday, but my book buying ban made me put it back :S Also, and more importantly, I'm glad you found someone to share your life with, and that it feels so right.
