As I walked down the aisle just less than a year ago, looking at the handsome man, pride glowing through his eyes, I was sure I would never experience more beautiful emotion than that.
As I squeezed my loved one’s hand, I knew he was my biggest support and I – his.
As we had our first kiss, first dance, and first (very wild) party as a newly married couple, I wished those heartwarming moments would last forever and ever.
The magic of the wedding day will catch up with you no matter how not-romantic you think of yourself. And it’s regardless if you are the groom, the bride, the best man, or the auntie on the second-to-last row. Tears of joy would water your eyes.
And that’s ok.
Because getting married is a lot more than signing the papers. It also states, “I stop the search because I found you. I start a new life because I found you. I am who I am because I found you.”
