He took it upon himself to find a Chapel in Monterigginoi in Tuscany, Italy for us to have a private renewal of our vows. 2021 will mark the year of our 16th wedding anniversary (which will actually be December 2, 2021) so technically we will be renewing our vows in our 15th year of marriage. I'm truly overwhelmed with honor and happiness with his gesture. We had not even discussed every renewing our vows so for him to bring this up meant so much to me. I know, Ladies, I'm a very blessed and lucky man.
So to surprise my husband is next to impossible and honestly that is no understatement. He always finds out EVEYRTHING! he now knows I'm having a dress made for our renewal, but he is not allowed to see it and he won't see me in it until the day we have our ceremony, but like I said in the title, he won't be reading this so you get a sneak peak. They will have to customize it, but since I have 274 days before we even leave, I think I have plenty of time to get it and try it on and buy a new one should this one not work out. Here is to praying it works out, because we all know I am not a good shopper for myself since he does all that for me so we shall see. I am shipping it to Tia & Drew's house and she will keep it there and I will go there and try it on and we will determine if it will work. If for some reason it doesn't I have promised myself not to cry, but to start looking for a new one. It will all work out. It all just feels so good, but this dress is the one dress I go back to every time I start looking for one.
I realize that I will never be able to give him half of what he has given me in our life together and I pray daily that he knows how appreciative for him I am. I truly do appreciate him and love him with my whole heart. I engraved on his wedding bank that he had my whole heart and I meant it then and mean it even more today.
I've heard people say that they at times fall in love with their spouse all over again. I swear I believe my love for him has just continued to grow and get stronger over the years and it makes me excited to see just how much more I can love him and how much stronger we become together. He is truly my best friend and my favorite man on this earth. I know the Lord had a reason for us to meet when we did and have the long courtship we had all for a very good reason. Some of those reasons I've already learned, but I am certain there are more to come and I am as ready as I can be until that moment happens. I pray he loves my dress as much as he shows me how much he loves me. Come on April 2021. (please COVID stay away so we can make this 2 week European trip of a lifetime happen and renew our vows and just become that much closer).
I love you babe with all my heart and I love the life we have with all our kids and bonus kids and our now grandbaby and future grandbabies. You make me a better person and I pray I do half as much for you as you do for me.
