Oct 2nd 2009

Good morning, I would continue on letting you all in on my dream home but considering today is the 2nd I think it's appropriate that I say Happy 2 Months to us! My husband and I, and go back to the 2nd of August, our Wedding Day.

What started out like a cloudy day with even a few sprinkles soon turned sunny, no clouds and not even the wind would interfere in our special moment.
There was simply a warm August breeze, enough of a breeze to pick up my veil and hold it in her embrace and let the light pass through and cast a warm sun kissed look on my face and shoulders. It was indeed the perfect day!

10am -ish....We arrive to have our hair done. Sweets, Shelly and my now Sister in Law.
We were all excited, running around, giggling but a little anxious, giddy but nervous...happy.
We exchanged well wishes and hugged and laughed and went " outdoors" for a break...wink wink. We were finally done, looking odd all made up and still wearing our linen comfy pants and t-shirts. Packing in mom's Volvo...we're enroute to the destination that will in a short while hold memories and laughter that will remain in the walls and air forever.

We're here, dad greets us with a warm smile and quickly rushes us off to our room...we mustn't be seen...quick off you go. I felt like Edward our beloved but odd character from Twilight in that moment...if I stayed out any longer I would die...out of the light and indoors. This is it.

Ahh, we're here...within moment mom, cousin, my now mother in law arrive and other immediate and extended family arrive. It was so nice to see everyone all dressed up and fancied up...we should have weddings more often.
FWD to 445pm...I'm all dressed, mom and I exchanged a moment while looking at one another across the bouquet table. It's a look of " you are ok, you are going to be ok...let's go" No nod, no words, just a quick glance that was just what I need to exhale, put on my veil and wait for dad to swoop me away.

He's here, dad's here...my dad, what a stud. Tux and all...Bond, Bond who? Dad was so handsome, he too should fancy it up and wear a tux more often...why not it's fantastic! I'll bring that up at next time's dinner. Perhaps we could have theme nights and the next will be Old Hollywood...that should bring the tux out. No? Ha!
Dad walks in, turn left in the door way and looks right at me and says to me in Romanian
"frumusete" meaning Beauty. It was perfect, he was perfect, I felt perfect. I know there is no perfect but that day and moment was, trust me, it was as perfect as can be. I'm ready, not nervous at all, at all. Nothing, no butterflies just excitement to get down there, do my walk, hold his hand, say the vows and let him know how much they mean to me and how much he means to me...Kiss and tada...we're husband and wife.
And that's just how it went.
My lovely ladies entered before me, wish I could have seen them walk in. Isn't there a video?
Followed by mom and the cuties and then it was dad and I. Pictures will show no lie, I am smiling from China to Columbia. A smile that when I look at it makes me feel like a little girl. I was in the moment, present to all the goodness around us. All the love. And there sure was love.

He looked so handsome, smiling yet a little emotional. It was and is a moment frozen in my mind. Here I am all high on smiles and wanting to run down to greet him and he is calm and taking it all in. That's who we are and why we make a great team. I'm the coo coo one and he is the wind to give me a push but also keep me down. Together we are yin and yang. The balance that everyone one needs in themselves, as a couple.

...to be continued.
