16/1/2017 0 Comments 1 year wedding anniversaryThe Sixteenth of Janurary On an overcast, wet and rainy summer's day in January, one year ago to be exact, we took each other to be husband and wife. We didn't follow tradition and not see each other the night before, we couldnt be apart no matter how much our friends tried, so we laid our heads on our pillows together the night before the big day with fire and excitement burning in our hearts and woke up the next day to find out Adam had basically lost his voice and had come down with a cold (which tends to happen when hes under stress ha ha !) The whole morning leading up to the big event I felt incredibly relaxed and calm despite the fact that the whole morning it poured down with rain and our ceremony was outdoors and only hours away. It was a day we had dreamt, visualised and 'pinterested' since we were 14 years old, a day we worked so hard for to make happen for just over a year and a day that couldnt have been any more perfect if we had tried. The weather cleared up only moments before I made my entrance down that isle, I remember thinking to myself 'do not cry' and 'holy shit so many people' as I took my younger brother by the arm as he walked me down the isle...actually it was more of a speed walk down the isle. Before I even made it to Adam I could feel a lump form in my throat and I knew I would start to cry, it was the looks of the purest form of happiness that were shown on the faces of my family that set me off, in particularly I remember the look on my older brother's face as we made eye contact on my way down. I then laid eyes on Adam waiting there all handsome and love struck who was also fighting the urge to break down in tears and it was then I felt completely consumed in love. We made promises to each other in front of all of our closest family in friends. Some of which I haven't been so successful with but I have a lifetime with you to keep working on them. I thought today I would revisit the promises we made to each other, posting them here in a space I created about our lives to reminisce, remind and to share them again with all of our friends and family new and old. Adam today I stand before you and everyone we love, taking you as my lawful wedded Husband. We have been dreaming of this day ever since we met and I still cant believe I have been given the greatest gift of you. From this day forward I promise to never stop dreaming with you, I promise to keep the kid in you alive, To always be down for you spontaneous adventures and to be a better sport when you want to watch NRL. I promise to support the man in you, to keep your heart wild and to always love your beard no matter the shape or length. I promise to never leave your head unscratched, your back untickled, to snuggle even when its uncomfortable and to always find us food no matter the circumstance. I promise to be faithful in times of trial, to celebrate with you in times of joy and to never leave you no matter what. I promise to give you grace and to fight for your heart with persistence. I promise to come along side you, to support you and to follow you wherever our lives may lead. I promise to always let you in and to fight battles together knowing that what yours is mine and mine is yours and I promise to love you unconditionally. I couldn't be more blessed to be able to call you mine for the rest of my life. I love you. Cassandra, I vow to make you laugh, and to make you smile I vow that we will live free and always dream wild I vow to hold you and protect you through the open seas and to bring you home safely when we travel overseas I vow to let nothing stand in our way I vow that we can do anything that we plan or we say I vow to make you feel special and woosy every single day And to treat you with respect in every single way I vow through the good and the bad To always be standing right beside you holding your hand To never let you go Even when the wrinkles start to show What we have is more then love Its something special brewed from above I vow to always listen and respond I vow that nothing will ever break this magical bond My beautiful bride My future My wife I vow all these things throughout our life Cassandra, today I stand before you and everyone we love, taking you as my lawful wedded wife. One year later and I must say I absolutely love and am so proud to be your wife. You continue to amaze me with your selfless and unconditional love, your endless patience, your high spirits, your constant encouragement and support and your wanting to put mine and Atticus' happiness above your own. I am beyond blessed to have a man who has been my rock, my mentor and my biggest cheerleader, to have someone who has loved me despite my wrongs and someone who continues to push me to be the better version of myself. Thank you for making me Atticus' mother and Thank you for being his father. I am so glad he has someone full of love, passion, happiness, drive, adventure and life to look up too and learn from. I promise to continue to promise working giving you more head scratches, back tickles and NRL game viewing. Here's to one absolutely amazing and memorable one year as husband and wife and many more rich years to come ♥ Love you lots xxx
