The Happy Two

Who doesn't want to live this day again? Man it's a shame it only happens once in a lifetime, (or so you hope). What a surreal day. Two years ago at this moment we had just arrived at the temple. My family and I had stayed at the Hilton downtown the night before. I'd been in hysterics that night because I thought I'd lost my temple recommend and for those of you who are not LDS you can not go into the temple without it! So, I was panicking, my family and I searched everywhere high and low for about an hour and a half. I had called Jason, and he was searching in his car and everywhere else he could think of as well. Lastly I thought to call the room where my brother Jesse was staying even though I didn't remember going into that room. The conversation went a little something like this.

Jesse?

Si Señorita ? (in his most authentic mexican accent.)

Can you look around that room for a blue planner? It has my temple recommend in it.

Si Señorita.

(silence for a moment)

Si Señorita.

What, it's there? (annoyed)

Si Señorita.

My blue planner is in YOUR ROOM??

Si Señorita.

I hung up, and ran to pound his door down. He opened it most casually, to find my entire family in a half circle standing around his door, not amused. He had somehow missed out on the chaos and had just casually been watching TV.

The weird part was, I just couldn't stop the hysterical crying. The hysterical crying that deforms your face. I cried, and I cried, and I cried... for about another hour. Cried myself to sleep in fact. Just over the joy and pain of it all. It was much needed. The pressure had mounted, the flood gates had opened. If it hadn't happened then, it surely would have happened the next morning which would have been disasterous. Brides are pretty much insufferable... let's be honest. It's like the worst case of PMS times 100. I think we are pretty lucky to make it to our actual big day, if no one in the family kills us first. Luckily I woke up peaceful as a lamb, though a little puffy eyed, on our wedding day... and greeted my husband-to-be with a warm, tender, not-a-care-in-the-world smile on that most fabulous morning of all mornings.

So Jason my love, here's to us! Who'd a thought we would make it this far?!? (that's a joke... I think pretty much everyone did.) You make me sublimely happy. There are specific reasons I needed you, and so many additional reasons I have been shown along the way since this day two years ago. You are my perfect fit. Peas and carrots. You are the best man I've ever known. You help me and will help me become the most perfect me possible in this lifetime. I can only hope to do the same for you. I love you and admire you more than words can express.
