Well I almost did it – finished my recaps before our one year anniversary, that is. Turns out I’m only a couple posts shy but the day is here and I can’t help but stop everything and revel in the joy of it.

Has it really been a whole year since this?

I can hardly believe it.

When I think back on our wedding day in Punta Cana, a crazy jumble of images tumble around in my mind: family and friends, laughter and love. For us, our DW was as much about celebrating the people we love as it was about declaring our own love for each other.

But today I’m taking the time to reflect on the man I married and our fabulous first year of marriage.

One question I’ve been asked many times this past year is, Do you feel different now that you’re married?

Well, the short answer is yes.

The long answer is this…

This time last year, Mr Breezy and I had known each other for five years and lived together for two. And during that time, we did a lot of growing together. We shared triumphs and failures, belly laughs and tears, and helped each other become better versions of ourselves.

It was a lovely thing in itself but getting married took it to a whole new level. Standing up in front of all the people we love most and making those promises to each other solidified it. We’ve become a unit while still retaining our individuality. We’ve become a family. And, well… Family is no matter what. Family is come what may. Family is forever.

And there’s something unspeakably delicious about that.

As for Mr Breezy himself, well, you probably have an inkling of this already but I think he’s pretty awesome. He’s the person that makes me laugh louder, hug tighter, try harder, walk further, look deeper, work smarter, dance goofier and love more fiercely than anyone. He’s changed my world and added so much to it.

A year ago I told him I was very honored to become his wife, and a year later, I can only say that that honor has deepened.

Happy anniversary Mr Breezy. Here’s to a lifetime of celebrating.
