Our Wedding

<p>I'd love to say that we dated in middle school and never looked back, but that just didn't happen. I was in a grade above him and when I moved up to high school, he was staying in middle school so I did the "cool" thing instead of the thing I wanted to do. After a year and a half (enternity in those years) I broke up with him so that I could enter high school without being attached to a middle schooler. Believe me, knowing what I know now, that is one major thing about my life that I would change. But, we worked at the same grocery store in high school and he would always come to my line to bag groceries and we would even try to take our breaks together. I waited for him to ask me out again but he never did. Can't say I blame him, but it was still disappointing. We both moved away for college and it wasn't until about a year before I moved back that we reconnected on Facebook. A few conversations here and there and nothing more. When I moved back in December of 2012, I was out with a friend and looked across the dance floor and saw him. When I say that I heard God telling me to go to him, I mean a literal voice in my ear and a hand on my back saying "Go!". And go I did! We were officially dating 2 days later and never looked back. He asked me to marry him after 2 weeks and I said yes! We didn't tell anyone at the time because we knew a lot of people would panic and question our decision. We feared the term "shotgun wedding". So we waited a few months before letting people know we were getting married. We had a very small ceremony in my mom's front yard. It was nothing fancy and it didn't cost much but at the end of the day, we were married! We went off to Myrtle Beach for a quick 3 day honeymoon and dreamed about doing a big reception for all our friends for our first anniversary. Well, life happened and the reception didn't. Nor did it happen for the second year, or the fifth, or the tenth. But what DID happen on the 10th is Alex upgraded my ring and we decided to finally move forward with doing the renewal but in a spectacular way! Neither of us got to experience the full "wedding experience" so we're making up for it now! We are focusing on our little family and all the friends who helped us along the way. So we are not just celebrating us, we are thanking you and we can not wait for you to join us on our special day!</p>
