Established: Part 2

 For years, people have been asking us "When are you going to get married," and for a long time, we didn't have an answer. There wasn't necessarily anything holding us back. We have long been committed to each other, and we knew our relationship was for keeps. We were just waiting - for something.

By the time we had finally decided we were going to get married, I realized what it was we had been waiting for all along. We were waiting for it to be about us. It makes sense, after all, that is what a marriage is all about. The bride and the groom, the husband and wife. Often times, weddings seem to focus on everyone else and not what is truly important - the life long commitment that the day represents.

Perhaps Wyet and I didn't take the ordinary route to make it official, but then again, what is so great about being ordinary? Why not make it unique and exceptional? When we had finally came to this realization, that we didn't have to do this whole wedding bit the "normal" way, we were relieved, and wedding planning finally seemed fun {and not dreaded}.

When our wedding day finally approached, it was remarkable. It was emotional and stunning, and I truly have never felt more alive and in love than I did in that moment. Our wedding day wasn't the first day of the rest of our lives. It was a step; a continuation of the loyalty we had promised to each other years ago, and it was perfect.
