Nobody in the world can prepare you for what happens to your insides when your childhood minister holds his hand firmly over the fingers you have entwined between the fingers of your sweetheart and states with a smile “by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” I shivered like an electrified caramel flan, sniffed back a blundering leak from my right nostril, squeaked out an involuntary laugh of elation and smiled so wide that my eyes disappeared. I blinked back the salty mist forming behind my eyelids and basked in the warm breeze that was the love emanating from my husband’s gentle kiss, until my breath returned.
It has been exactly one month since that perfect moment and I have yet to return from the ambrosial cloud on which I landed. I can’t think straight. I have been blessed beyond repair. I have been given Eden.
A dear friend inquired the other day as to what I could possibly write about now that I’m sporting two sparkling bands on my left hand and have vowed my forever to a single man. “You’re married and kind of done; it's the whole happy ever after thing.” Exactly. My life as it is worth documenting has only just begun…

Big mad crazy uber smiles of happiness hit my face while reading this. (full disclosure; touch of jealousy, too)
Rock on, Jessica. Rock the F on.
Oh, and it's time for SC&L's.
INPY - I couldn't help but think of you as I wrote this post, simply because of the wording.
And yes, I will be at the next HH ready to hold my own in shot-taking battle against the force of nature that is you...
Mwha ha ha, I wonder what friend said that to you as he probably drank enough punch to kill a baby elephant.
Congrats from the bottom....
Just as it should be. I hope it's happily every after for you. I'm sure at some point there will be stories of little Cookies. Can't wait, but you should until the wedding bliss has settled!
Sounds very lovely & wish you both all the best. Great torso shots BTW. Very traditional! Cheers & Good Luck, 'VJ'
