But for us, our wedding day was a beginning ... the beginning of our new life together as Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen. As Courtney so eloquently put in her and Dominick's blog (www.thestanziones.blogspot.com) - our finding each other and journey to the altar was not an easy one. But our amazing May day - on my parents 36th wedding anniversary - was all the warmth we needed to step forward as husband and wife.
As many married couples know, the planning of a wedding is stressful and often times we lose sight of what we are planning for....a marriage not a wedding reception. Eric and I tried to stay away from the arguements that come with wedding planning by instituting a "fight jar" where the instigator of an arguement had to put $20 into the jar. And as the wedding day got closer we up'd the anty day by day.
It helped us to remember what our day was all about and that is our love and commitment to each other and our families. We both wrote personalized vows and as I heard Eric's I knew that they truly came from his heart as did mine. We are meant for each other and that was clear from the beginning. We took a long road to the chapel :) but it was always a happy one because wherever we are, as long as we're together, we're having fun - loving and laughing.
We're loving being the Nielsens :)
