Anniversary – 10th

July 13, 2006 - Posted by danielle

Today is our 10th Anniversary of our wedding. I didn’t want the occasion to pass without marking it in some way on my blog, even if it is a little bit late in the day and many of you won’t see this until tomorrow.

I was thinking today about the day of our wedding. Periodically, throughout the day I’d think something along the lines of “10 years ago today, I was doing X at this time.” I have a pretty vivid memory of our wedding day, including the wedding ceremony and reception. For some people, it becomes a blur in their minds, but there are a lot of really distinct moments that I remember.

I’ve also been thinking some today about how HB and I have grown since then. Now, yes, our waistlines have both thickened, but that isn’t the kind of growth that I mean. Our relationship has matured along with each of us. We were 22 when we got married, and a lot has happened between then and now, and we’ve been each other’s best friend through it all.

I think that is the main thing I feel today. A strong love. A love that is even deeper and more meaningful than the love that I had on the day that we married. And a deep friendship. The very best kind of friendship.

    Wow! I can’t believe it has been 10 years. Congratulations to you and HB!!!!

    I still remember decorating the reception hall, sitting under the big oak (?) tree during the wedding and all of the fun dancing!!!! What a great wedding celebration.

    I remember that the DJ made a comment to Dad that he had never seen a bride dance so much. A great time was had by all.

    Congratulations, again!
