Wedding Time

For Time and All Eternity

-July 28th, 2009-

When we first told friends and family that we were going to get married, we received the same response from just about everyone: "Ummm... didn't you two just meet like three weeks ago?"
I want to say though, that if I felt on the first day that I met Lisa, what I felt in the moment I fell in love with her, I would've been ready to marry her that very day. I've tried over and over to tell Lisa how I have felt about her, and the right words still haven't come. The last seven months have been some of the most memorable of my life.. some memories however, weren't the ones I wished to have, such as a long-distance engagement, or the stress of getting the marriage license, and much much more...down to the very night of getting married(yeah, we got married at night) getting lost on the way to the temple, being late already on top of that, seeing the skies storm-up minutes before finally arriving.. we questioned ourselves if that day and entire experience was a shadow of the rest of our lives... not the typical wedding day I was hoping for.... but in the moment I knelt across the alter and promised myself to Lisa, I was immersed in a feeling of peace and joy so strong, that I knew that no matter what the trials and storms that lied before us, we had made the right decision and in the long run, no matter what would happen, it would be so far beyond being worth it, as long as she was by my side, and I, by hers, for time and all eternity.
