Five Years and Counting

January 6, 2012 | family, Uncategorized

 

I cannot believe it’s January 6 2012! On this day, five years ago, I walked down the aisle and said “I do.” I remember being so proud that we made it to one year, and we were no longer “newlyweds,” but it seems like just yesterday we were dancing the second line dance with boas and umbrellas in New Orleans.

For those of you who have been long time loyal blog readers, I apologize if you have to see some of the same pictures again, but I can’t help it, I loved my wedding and want to share it with you. I did a whole recap last year, so you can find it on our four year anniversary post. It was quite the crazy wedding day so I suggest reading it if you like wedding recaps! I also wrote a post during the royal wedding which includes some pictures from my big day.

It was a fun day to say the least. I love looking back on pictures over the last five years, it’s so funny to see how much we have grown and changed. I’m sure we will be saying the same thing on our 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on anniversaries. Bobby and I are so blessed to have found each other, and I thank God for making us specifically for each other. I leave you with the lyrics to a song I love, one that was beautifully sung at our wedding.

When God Made You

its always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And i’ve never been so sure of anything in my life

~chorus~

Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.

(Girls)

Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go, wherever life may lead you,
With all my heart I’ll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I’ll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.
(guy):So gone are all my questions about why (girl echoes):about why                                                 and I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life

Duet:Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.
When God made you He must’ve been thinking about me.

Bridge

He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can’t do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
Your for me and I’m for you and my world
Just cant be right without you in my life

Chorus

(guy) He must have heard every prayer I’ve been praying (girl echo)
I’ve been praying (both)He must’ve knew everything I would need

When God made you, He must’ve been thinking about me.

QOTD: What was sung at your wedding? If you aren’t married, what do you want sung at your wedding?

    We didn’t sing anything at my wedding. We did however, play the Beatles “All you need is love” before the wedding, and when we were walking back down the aisle together, we played the Imperial March from Star Wars. We also toasted with Diet Mt. Dew instead of champagne bc we’re nerds like that.

    Love all your wedding pics! No shame in posting them over and over, it’s a special day for you guys (Even though I’m a new reader and hadn’t seen them). Hope you have a wonderful anniversary and many more!

    Happy Anniversary! I LOVE that we got married on the exact same day — too funny. And of course we honeymooned in Disney – how did we not see each other? 😉 I’m thinking we need to plan a trip for the 4 of us so we can hang out — no better place than Disney!

    We had B Lee’s dad, aunt & uncle sing at our wedding – so cool. They sang “Household of Faith” and “When I Said I Do”. I still watch the wedding video just to hear them sing!

        We were at the Caribbean Beach – but this year we’ll be at the Grand (for part of the trip anyway!)

        Neat story — we were married in the same church that my parents were…and Household of Faith was sung at their wedding too 🙂

          January 7, 2012 at 6:25 pm

          You didn’t tell me you were going to be at the Grand?! When? What category did you book?!

    No one sang at our wedding, but one of my bridesmaids played her violin – she played Bryan Adams’ “Everything I do” as the guys walked down the aisle, Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” as the girls walked down the aisle, and Firehouse’s “Love of a Lifetime” as I walked down the aisle, which was also our first dance at the reception!

Backstory: It was our last morning and Myself, my Backstory:
It was our last morning and Myself, my mom and dad were sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee enjoying the view. My mom was walking to the door and my dad and I heard a scraping noise on the deck. I was sitting and the column was blocking my view. Dad was standing. He turns away from me, and says super casually:

“Oh look, it’s a bear.” 🐻 

I jumped up sure enough there is a baby bear standing at the top of the steps, 12 feet from us. We ran in and locked the door and called for Bobby and EK to come look. We left our coffee outside and mom and dad’s phones were out there. Thankfully I had mine for video!

We had grilled steaks the night before so they were coming to find the food. (After the first morning…we had grilled the first night too…we saw bear paw prints so we knew there were some in the area.) 

Emma Kate was recording on her iPad, and got the best clip of all, the very best one! He actually seated at her two different times but we only got one on video. 

It was quite the adrenaline rush but also SO COOL and a great way to end the trip!!! 

*Please do not ever approach or feed a bear. While black bears typically aren’t aggressive, if humans feed them they will continue to get close. If staying in the Smoky Mountains stay aware and never leave food outside or in your car! And lock your car and cabin doors.*
