Hey, guys. How are you?

I jokingly mentioned in my last blog post how well I’ve been doing at creating consistent blog posts because well, I haven’t been doing so great. Truthfully, these last few months I’ve had what I’ve now decided (and by now, I mean 5 seconds ago) to call creative chaos. Basically, I’ve been all over the place with both highs and lows in my creative process but, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and I think (or hope) I’m beginning to approach that light.. But, there could be a whole separate blog post on just that.

I want to share a bit from my wedding which happened 44 days ago. I’ve yet to get all the photos back so far (mainly missing reception photos) but, I wanted to go ahead and share a bit from the day and some favorite photos.

 

On February 16, 2019 my lovely wife and I said I do at the Pennsylvania state capitol and it was a glorious venue and day. I almost wish I could share some important things that I did that morning but, there were no pre-marital rituals that took place or anything like that. I mean, I literally got my hair cut the day before and was picking up stuff for the wedding up until 2 hours before it was set to start; Who had time to do anything ‘chic’ before the wedding.

The morning of I took my parents and brother to a local market where as soon as I entered the doors I raced straight to the bakery where my wife always looks to get an almond croissant but, we never get there early enough. Luckily, there were 2 left! I packed one of those up and ate 1 myself before having some coffee and shooting off to the mall to pick up some earrings as a gift to her for our honeymoon in Mexico, as well as a new perfume. I’ve learned about myself that smells are quite important to me and I wanted a new smell that I could forever associate with our wedding. I picked out YSL Black Opium, which til this day brings me back to the wedding night every time I smell it 😉

Fast forward through jumping in the shower at 2pm (the wedding started at 4) and racing off to the venue, the magic was about to happen. And magic it was.. Sure, we started 30 minutes late but, who starts anything on time these days?

We had the most perfect ceremony and I am so grateful for that. The sun was shining through the door and on to the stairs perfectly. I mean, I couldn’t see Dariel until she got right up to the stairs but, we’ll call it prolonged mystery of the bride.

My dad married us. We had our best friends in the world standing beside us. We didn’t have our first kiss until 2 days before (on Valentine’s Day). We mixed sand together to represent our souls never being able to be picked apart. We had pizza at the reception and an amazing chocolate/coffee cake. I danced with no shame, we had gourmet cheese, fun music (at least I think so, our family and friends surrounding us, and the best day either of could have asked for. And.. the wedding night was pretty great. 😉

Marriage has been…. real. That’s the best way to explain it. It’s so good and yet, at times, it’s so hard. But every day.. It’s more than worth it. More on that later.
