19 days married!!!

Hey everyone,
Matt and I will be married for 3 full weeks in 2 days! We are going away to celebrate and then having dinner with some friends! The last 19 days have been the happiest days of my life. I feel reborn and all the things that bothered me in the past, are dead and gone because I have moved on. I have more important things to concentrate on now... I have my own family now and a life of my own. It's absolutely wonderful. I have always asked "What does it feel like to be married" to my friends who have gotten married before me. They always said..."it feels the same except now we are married". Well, it does feel the same but everything is better! It's a difficult feeling to explain in words, but I can feel how much stronger our relationship is now that we are married. It's a deeper, more powerful love than before. It's wonderful and we are both so happy. Our wedding was perfect. Nearly everyone came to celebrate with us and everyone raved about how our wedding was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. It was definitely the best wedding/party I ever had and ever will. We are both so excited about our lives together and cannot wait to share so many deep and powerful moments together.

Our lives are so young and fresh... we can do anything right now. The number one question people have been asking is "When can we expect a baby?" We want children whenever God is ready to give us children. Babies are not 'planned' even though some couples 'try' for babies...they are not necessarily going to get a child when they want one. God will give life only when He sees fit and neither Matt nor I will fight it when/if our time comes and neither should anyone else.

The last 19 days have been a dream. I highly recommend this feeling and don't see how we won't continue to have this feeling for the rest of our lives. We believe that when you find true love, it can with stand anything...you just need to be willing to give and take a little from each other. We are preparing for a new chapter of our lives together and I have the feeling that things will be getting very interesting in the next year or two. Thanks for reading!

The out of body experience:

Its been 32 days since our last post! We are now 2 days married and are more than thrilled!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have wanted it any other way! We had such a great time, everything was better than we could have ever imagined. Matt had breakfast in bed delivered to me, surprised me with fancy new jewelery, gave me live entertainment, and a magician to entertain everyone during cocktail hour! It was absolutely perfect!



Thank you to everyone who came out for the ceremony and those of you who came and partied with us at the reception! We'd like to thank everyone who helped make our special day so incredible; my dad, Matt's mother, my maids of honor Cait and Jill, the best men Steven and John, and of course the bridal party Christina, Ashley, Rachel, Nicole, Mike, Maeve, Zach, Anthony, Abbie and Jenn, Julius, Jenn, Jules, Devon, and Little Mike, Big Mike, Daniell, Taylor and Georgie. Father Greg did an mind blown homily and we thank him for coming all the way out to PA to marry us. The overall experience was amazing and we are so pleased with the outcome. The reception was like no reception I have or will ever attend. We had an amazing turn out and the food was spectacular. This was truly an out of body experience for Matthew and I. We just floated through the day with a huge smile across our faces. We can not wait for our wedding video and photographs because they are going to be SOOO gorgeous! We are just thrilled and look forward to spending the rest of our lives together. We leave for our honeymoon on Wednesday and we just know that this crazy amount of love and excitement we have experienced these last few days will continue to grow and fill our hearts with joy. So thank you to everyone who pushed through this wedding because we made it and it was worth everything we endured to get there. You guys are the ones who have proven your love and devotion to Matthew and I and we appreciate and reciprocate that feeling right back to you. It's time like these that you really see who cares about you and who doesn't and we are so blessed with how many people came out to the church and to the reception. We were shocked to have seen soooo many old familiar faces of friends we haven't seen in YEARS... thank you all for coming... it meant so much to Matthew and I for you to have celebrated our love with us. We look forward to our lives together and of course would do anything for you guys when the tables are turned. Thanks again!
