Our wedding day. The best day of my life thus far. It could not have been more magical or gone more perfectly. It was everything I was hoping for and somehow even more. God was good to us that day and continues to be. God’s always been good to me. Anyone who needs proof of this can look at my husband and see that the fact He allowed me and Tanner to end up together means that He is very good to me.
Stories go that you cannot sleep the night before your wedding. They call it wedding jitters or something. Tanner and I wouldn’t know because we did not experience these in the least. I slept like a baby the night of my wedding. The pre wedding excitement was too much for my body to handle and I was out cold that night. And I suppose I needed my beauty rest that night as well. I had literally never been as excited to be Mrs. Tanner Walker as I had been about anything else in my life, yet I slept perfectly! Looking back I know it’s because I had also never been as positive about a decision in my life as I was about marrying Tanner. He is my Mr. Perfect, my Mr. Right, my guy for eternity.
Our wedding was something out of a fairytale. It was storybook perfect. So many people came, especially family, to support us and our special day. Tanner who is definitely the most handsome man on this planet, looked even more handsome than I even knew was possible in his black and white suit with his crisp white tie and perfectly bright white and straight smile. Man did I score big! My dress was like a princesses’ as all the little girls there told me, even believing that I was a princess. And they were right, for a day I was just that; a princess marrying her prince. My dream was coming true. My friend Laura did my makeup and I have to admit I looked flawless that day. I think it helped that I’ve never smiled as much in a day as I did that day. Not just for the cameras, but just with the knowledge that I was being sealed for all time and eternity to my best friend and the man I am head over heels in love with.
The sealing was beautifully done and I had to remind myself not to cry like a baby like my impulse was trying to make me do because I still had to look smudge free for pictures afterwards. Nothing has ever been as perfect and real to me as that day though and as that ceremony in that room. If I’m being honest I have to let you know I don’t necessarily remember all that was said but I remember the perfect feelings, strong spirit, and overwhelming joy I felt while in that room holding hands with my man. I love him more and more each and every day, even though I thought I loved him as much as you can love someone the day of our wedding.
Our first dance was magical, and it was so great being at our exclusive luncheon after with just our closest friends and our family. It was so nice to be able to feel all the support and from everyone who was there and to hear all of their warmest wishes for us. I don’t know how my life would have turned out without all these amazing people.
And this is where we end this post because you don’t want details after anything else. I will tell you though, we got made fun of because we were STARVING and the first thing we did when we went to the hotel was change out of our clothes, and go to P.F. Chang’s. Best meal I’ve ever had and first meal out as “Mr. & Mrs.” I’ll never forget anything about that day or night. By far my best, most magical day ever!
