A Look Before...

I knew from the start that I wanted N to see me before I walked down the aisle. I wanted a special moment before the ceremony where it was just the two of us. Some people thought it was silly or unnecessary. Others thought it was sweet. I never asked anyone if I should do it or not. It was important to me and that was all that mattered.

I had heard people say "the ceremony will be a blur" so I wanted to make sure that we had a moment to ourselves before everything. A chance to soak up the excitement and happiness. A chance to look into each other's eyes and steal a few more kisses before the blur started.

I even asked the photographer to grab a shot or two before she and my wedding planner hauled everyone away.

I remember standing there waiting for my soon to be husband. I was so giddy. When he rounded the corner I couldn't stop smiling. And the look on his face. Oh lord. So sweet, handsome, and mischievous. I remember him whispering some very naughty things for my ears only...hahaha.

I remember us smiling and saying "This is it!".

I'm so glad we had this moment. Because for the rest of the wedding we were surrounded by people. Not a moment alone until we drove away to our hotel that night. If I had waited until then...well...I would have missed out on one of the sweetest memories I had of that day.
