I Do or Do I ?!

I attended my very first wedding this weekend! Just like I thought it was one big party and who doesn't love a party?. Since me and Chris were not able to have the wedding of our dreams we were left to dream of the wedding we would love to have one day. I have always loved watching weddings on television and hearing all about them from others but to actually be there and see it all happen was much different for me.

As I sat in the Chapel and danced away at the reception I couldn't help but think do they really know what they just said, "I DO" to? If they were anything like us on that day they didn't. I have spent the last eight years  understanding what "I Do" really means and it is so much more than a one day celebration. As a matter of fact the celebration should really come once you have made it through the honeymoon stage and the challenges that are inevitable in any relationship. All though we were not fortunate enough to have a wedding we have chosen to celebrate the small accomplishments that we have shared together through out the years. One day when the time comes we will celebrate with our families and have the destination wedding that I have always dreamed of. Tonight when I go to sleep I will pray that the couple has a marriage that is equal in the love given and received and that they enjoy a life together that is filled with love and joy. Marriage is a team sport and to win at it you must first know your position and play it well knowing that in the end you will always win when you work together. What are your hopes and dreams for your wedding and marriage??
