lovers in love

So I have to brag for a minute... 

I remember being a little girl. My mom had these white lace curtains that I used to pretend was my wedding veil.  I used to tape little rocks to my finger and pretend I had a wedding ring. My childhood consisted of many dreams of being someone's wife... and now, I am. Andrew's love for me is a pure reflection of Christ's love... 

This verse is one of my favorites... we recited this after our vows.

..Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you. For where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be by people and your God, my God. Where you die I will die. There I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me ever so severely is anything but death separates you and I.. Ruth 1:16-17

I found this tonight...

When asked to describe his wife: "I can tell you who she is to me: my wife, my help mate, my soul mate, the one who holds my heart, a fighter, she's brilliant, she's my better half, a true worshipper, a smile personified, a breath of fresh air, my refreshment, an angel on earth, my heart beat, my passion, lovely, a beauty that does not fade, my breath, she inspires everyone she meets, she's a lover of truth, my miracle, she loves the unlovable, she's kind, she's fights for justice, she is my laugh- the very reason I smile, my joy, my happiness, she's a dreamer, she has taught me what true blessing looks like, she's my favorite person to be with, my safe haven, a reflection of Jesus, my love, my life."

Our wedding rings are engraved "bundles of restoration will be our bedding"... he restores my hope in God, in humanity, in myself...
