We’re married.

Ian and I got married.

People say the day flies by, and it’s true. One thing that I’m really happy we got to do, though, was actually soak in the day. The day came and went. But I felt grounded, present, and happy.

We had about 100 people at our wedding and I would not have wanted it any other way. We’ve worked so hard to find and keep relationships in our lives and it meant so much to us to have most of them present on such a momentous day. As I grow older, my relationships have even more weight than the previous year. It’s not easy to keep a relationship – not just a marriage, but a friendship, or a relationship with family. People that we were once in love with become strangers, our definition of “best friends” changes, and relationships fizzle out; but on the flip side, strangers become friends and people we never imagined we’d have love for come around and truly surprise us in the best of ways. In this whirlwind of life, somehow the dust settles and the people who are meant to be there are there.

It really just felt like the people who earned a seat at the table, literally, were there. It really felt like our perfect little wedding.
