Five Years

Five years ago today two hurricanes converged on our area. Hurricane Charley decided to join Hurricane Alex and Tropical Storm Bonnie and drop 2 inches of rain on our wedding day. I had always dreamed of being married outside. We planned to marry at the park and have our reception in our back yard. And this is what it looked like when I woke up. I was devastated.

But that didn't put a kink in our plans.

My dad still walked me down the aisle.

And you were still there waiting for me.

And we still exchanged vows and had our first married kiss.

And we began our journey together right there, hand in hand, in the rain.

And we danced to our song; in the rain.

And it was a wonderful day. The rain made it that much sweeter.

Thank you for walking with me on this journey. We've accomplished so much together in five short years and I cannot wait to see what's waiting for us in the next five.

I love you.
