Seven years ago, it was our wedding day. All the planning, all the countdowns, and it was finally the day. June 25th, 2011.

Seven years ago, we dressed up. I wore an ivory mermaid lace gown. You wore a gray suit.

Seven years ago, I walked down the aisle to your smiling, teary eyed handsome face.

Seven years ago, we said Yes. Yes to a lifetime of adventures together. Yes to sticking it out through all the highs and lows. Yes to supporting and uplifting each other, always.

Seven years ago, we danced. We danced to La Vie en Rose, and it was so blissfully perfect.

Seven years ago, two best friends became husband and wife. And what a blessing it has been ever since!

The years have flown by, but oh what wonderful memories we have made! There’s no one else I’d rather argue with over who’s turn it is to do dishes, have wrestling competitions with, or raise kids with. You’re the one, and you have been ever since I was 16. Thanks for always being the one to uplift, motivate, and encourage me, even if it is a little embarrassing that you still tell people I’m a national champion 10 years after the fact 😉 Our relationship is far from perfect, but we’re always working at it, and I think that is what matters most. Through the hard patches, we’ve dug deep and rooted strong to our desire of a loving, happy marriage, and we’ve done a hell of a job so far! I love you with my whole heart, and I’m so happy to be doing life with you!

Happy anniversary, my love! Lucky number seven!
