The Sparklin' Kitty: One Month Check-In!

Can't you hear Moon River being played on the violin and cello?

Wow! I can't believe it, but it's already been a whole month since we said "I do!" (Although actually we didn't technically say I do- we said "I will" before reading our personalized vows.)

I'm so excited! Tonight will be the first time since our honeymoon that we actually get to go on a real date, like the kind where I put on a dress and makeup! (Well, it will be if I can actually get out of bed..)

Anyway. We've been told that no one actually heard our vows. So, beloved friends and family, I'm going to let you in on the most public personal thing I've ever done: I'm going to post our vows for all you lovely people to read.

The ceremony started with our officiant reading 1 Corinthians 13:4 (and maybe the following verses, honestly I was so caught up in trying to stop the flood of water leaking out of my eyes and the intense emotions that I can't remember exactly what was going on at this time)

He then asked us the part of the ceremony where we replied with "I will" (and once again, I really wish I could remember exactly what was said. Thankfully, we happen to be related to our officiant, so hopefully we can get a copy of what exactly we said!)

Then came our personalized vows. We both struggled to get through them without breaking down into puddles of tears, but we stumbled our way through! B is usually very stoic, so I was pretty surprised when he was getting chocked up trying to talk.

After the vows came the part where we recited more (I also plan on finding out exactly what we said here) and put the rings on each other. Then we poured the unity sand, and then we had what probably is the best kiss I've ever had, the "You may now kiss the bride" kiss.
