Nine Years Ago

Nine years ago, Husband and I got married.

Above? An engagement shot. We were baby-faced and oh so happy.

On our wedding day, I got ready with my sisters and bridesmaids at my childhood home.

Putting on my big dress.

Husband and his guys got ready at our then apartment.

Our dads in my childhood kitchen.

Husband is waiting in the garden to see me for the first time that day.

Holy Trinity was particularly beautiful that day.

In our first moments as husband and wife.

Leaving the church to head to the museum.

Our first dance under the whale. We stumble and laugh to U2's "All I Need Is You."

After the reception, we sneak a little time with the elephants.

Happy anniversary, love.
