1st Anniversary

So yesterday, April 28th was my first wedding anniversary. It's amazing that one whole year has gone by since the day that Lee & I got married - AMAZING! We went to the Fairmont in Santa Monica on Saturday where our wedding was held and it was very nostalgic for us to sit by the Koi pond and remember our wedding taking place there a year before. Sadly there wasn't a wedding going on that day as I hoped, but it was still fun to be there and walk around the property.

Our wedding day was so magical and something that we'll never forget for the rest of our lives. When we were deciding what kind of wedding to have early in our engagement, my friend Sherry gave me some advice. We were thinking of a small wedding somewhere remote and she told me that there's nothing like looking around the room during your reception and seeing everyone that you love surrounding you. That sold me on the idea of a big wedding with everyone that we know and care for. She was completely right - there is NOTHING like it. We felt so loved and honored that people traveled from near and far to spend the weekend with us. It was truly magical as was actually marrying Lee. I told him this last night that I would marry him over and over if I could and it's true. I feel so lucky to have met him and have him as a husband. He's one of a kind :)
