I'm listening to the CD that we played at our reception. Although I didn't get to hear much of it, we spent quite a while picking out our very favorite songs, and I'm so glad that we have the copy of it to listen over and over. My favoritist wedding-ish song on here just played, and I want to share the words with you because its so sweet, and so how I feel :-)
I say I love you, I say I need you
I try so many ways to say how my heart beats for you
I say I'm always thinking about you
There's no way I'd want to face this life without you.
Even though, these words come from deep inside me
There's so much more I don't have the words to say
'cause what I really want to say
Is what the sun would say to the sky
for giving it a place to come alive
But my words get in the way
Of what I really want to say
Oh, what I really want to say
I know that sometimes my words can be as hard as stone
and some times the words have left you feeling so alone
So please forgive me and hear the words I'm saying now
I will spend my whole life looking for a way somehow
To let you know just how precious you are to me
I'll use the best words I know but still won't say it all
It's like a tale too great to be told
It's something that my heart can onnly show
I'm gonna take my whole life
Just to let you know
What I really want to say
Oh what I really want to say to you
What I really want to say
Oh, what I really want to say.
CD case has references to I John 3:18:
"My dear children, to love someone doesn't mean just saying so or only being fond of them. It means helping them, whether we feel loving towards them or not." The Clear Word Bible
Someone asked me this week if I feel different now that I'm married. They wanted to know if I was more committed after standing up in front of our families and friends and saying our vows. The strange thing is, I don't feel a whole lot different. I was very committed to our relationship before the wedding, and I still am. I am very happy to be married - I love Eric and am very excited about being with him forever :-) :-) :-)
As of today, we've been married for a whole month :-) What a happy thought!! I think 13 will always feel like a lucky number to me because of that :-)
Did you see Melanie and Peter's wedding on the Today Show this week? Melanie's bouquet was very similar to mine :-) I love how my bouquet turned out, and its pretty amazing to me that a professional florist could do so similar! I wish I had a picture of hers to show you, but I can't find one online. Just sharing!
Its still fun to find pictures of my bridesmaid dresses online :-)Bari Jay. Mine is the one with the ribbon roses around it :-) I can go stare at these dresses because they are hanging in my closet right now <.giggle>
I'm working on thank you notes, the wedding day recap, and scanning in pictures! All very exciting and important things :-)
