one year ago...5/23/10

one year ago today, i did something crazy. one year ago today, i had my hair done up like a flower. one year ago today, my friend made my eyes sparkle. one year ago today, i put on a long, white dress. one year ago today, my mother attached a veil into my hair. one year ago today, my father told me i looked beautiful. one year ago today, my friends gave a toast and we drank champagne out of plastic cups. one year ago today, my mother slipped her engagement ring on my right finger..my something "old". one year ago today, i pinned my grandfather's wedding band into my dress..my something "borrowed". one year ago today, i slipped on a pair of white flip flops..with flowers. one year ago today, i stepped off the elevator to find him. one year ago today, we ran across the street again and again to take photos next to old buildings, fences and palm trees. one year ago today, my daddy walked me down the beach to canon d (steel drums). one year ago today, i said vows i had written weeks prior. one year ago today, i listened to vows spoken about me and "us". one year ago today, we said words that changed our lives. one year ago today, family and friends blessed us with 'congrats' and 'best wishes' and cheers. one year ago today, i kissed a boy who i now call husband. one year ago today, we walked down the beach, each wearing a new band on our fingers. one year ago today, we danced the night away with family, friends and good music. one year ago today, he told me he'd love me forever..and i told him i'd love him forever. one year ago today, i married the love of my life...
