My Whirlwind of a Wedding

Whirlwind: (n) something that involves many quickly changing events, feelings, etc.

Thanks Merriam-Webster Online!

The most vivid memory I have from my wedding day is the euphoric rush I felt walking hand-in-hand with my new husband after sealing our vows with a kiss. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" lifted our guests from their seats and I couldn't contain my smile. We arrived to the side of the stairs and embraced until we were joined by the happiest of hugs from our entire wedding party. My wedding was an absolute whirlwind of love and friendship; it was the best day of my life so far. I'm sure I will recap some other precious memories I have from that day, but I'd like to keep this one short and simple. A BIG thank you to everyone who joined us for our whirlwind - your energy and love on August 8th, 2014 will fuel us as we journey forward on our next adventure!
