The art of getting married

CAUTION: SAPPY LOVE POST!

(DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YA!)






I LOVE this wedding picture, it's one of my favorites. Last year I got suckered into buying a canvas Groupon, so I blew this picture up on a canvas and gave it to Chris for our anniversary. When we moved into our home I couldn't wait to display it! The canvas is now hung in our living room. I was curious as how my kids would react to a "kissing picture". I didn't anticipate Braedon's (2) reaction at all. "Mom, you're falling when you get married?" Because of this picture my boys now associate falling and getting married. Braedon falls and asks Robbie to catch him, and BOOM they're married! We have a lot to teach them....


But I let them go on believing right now and don't correct them. They also don't realize that you get married only once. And almost daily they ask Chris to marry me. So Chris takes me in his arms, asks me to marry him, and dips and kisses me, and BOOM we're married all over again! I'm glad that our kids give the reminder that yes, marriage is a daily choice (not legally but emotionally). Today (and everyday) I choose to marry Chris, and while it's not always "wedded bliss", it's a ride I wouldn't share with anyone else.


In conclusion, if you see my boys at a wedding anytime soon, don't be surprised if they act a little disappointed when the bride doesn't fall....

LOVE IT!! :) I think any observers of our wedding will think it's about punching each other in the face due to a series of very funny shots from our reception and the cake... :)
The daily reminder is a great thing. And we do fall and get picked up regularly by our spouses, in a sense.
