One week ago today, I married the love of my life, Benjy Satorius. Our wedding day was the most perfect, wonderful, amazing day of my life. The very next morning he whisked me away to a surprise honeymoon to Myrtle Beach, SC where we spent an incredible 5 days together, just relaxing and enjoying our new relationship. We got home just a couple days ago, to our beautiful new house, which was mostly ready for us to just walk in and begin living in with little to no work (because we got most of the cleaning and moving in done before the wedding). Now we are beginning to live our day to day lives as a married couple, and it is so fun!
Looking back on our special day...there's almost nothing I would change or do differently. The Lord blessed the whole thing from beginning to end, and it was just perfect. I hope I never forget each feeling, each special moment, and each tear of joy that ran down our faces. It was truly the happiest day of my life.
I remember being so afraid to walk down that aisle. I did it alone, and it was one of the scariest moments of my life...but once I walked into that sanctuary, and saw his face, my nerves were instantly calmed. Seeing him at the end of the aisle, waiting for me, his bride, and seeing his eyes well with tears, made me rest in the assurance of his love for me, and reminded me that I was marrying my best friend. Then our pastors spoke blessing and instruction over our marriage and walked us through our vows. As we stood on that alter, looking into each other's eyes and making promises to each other, both of us teared up, barely able to speak more than a whisper. It was the sweetest, most endearing time.
And our reception was the coolest! We had so much fun laughing and dancing the night away with our close family and friends...and everything looked just as I had dreamed it would. From the colors, to the centerpieces, to the candles and hanging ball lights...It was amazing. By the last hour of the reception, Benjy really just wanted to leave. It was so endearing to me that he just wanted to steal me away and have me all to himself. So off we went...to the hotel...where we laid in bed and talked for hours about our amazing wedding and reception.
Looking back on the whole day, and even to our honeymoon and our new home...I feel so incredibly blessed. Marrying Benjy, and starting our lives together, is really my life long dream come true. I got to marry a strong, responsible, capable, Godly man who has become my best friend, we got to have the most amazing wedding day and an awesome honeymoon vacation on a beach, in a room overlooking the ocean, and now I get my 'happily ever after', being his wife and living in this amazingly beautiful home with him. I truly am in awe of the amount of blessings the Lord has put on our marriage and on our life together.
