This afternoon I went with my son and his fianc\u00e9 for them to have their bridal photos taken and he got to see her for the first time in her wedding dress. It was such an amazing moment as a mom to be there and see him turn around and see the girl he loves in her gorgeous white dress and veil. It was definitely surreal. I\u2019m not sure how else to describe it.<\/p>\n
As I watched them with their eyes sparkling, so happy and in love, it was clear that they see only the good in one another. I couldn\u2019t help but think about how great it would be if couples could find a way to always remember how in love they were with each other and then hold on to those feelings for one other all the years of their marriage. Wouldn\u2019t it be amazing to be able to somehow bottle that feeling and keep it sacred so it never gets lost?<\/p>\n
In marriage everyone starts out so happy and in love with that twinkle in their eye. Then as time goes on\u2026he leaves the toilet seat up\u2026she forgets to put the cap on the toothpaste\u2026couples start to see all the negative in each other instead of seeing only the positive the way they did when they fell in love and decided to get married. Without even realizing it they can let the love they once had for each other get taken for granted and start to disappear\u2026<\/p>\n
I suppose that\u2019s one of the reason I love photographs so much. They are able to capture that twinkle in their eye and that smile they give one another. They freeze that moment in time when two people only saw the good in each other. They are the perfect reminder of the love that was once there. I suppose that is why my house is filled with photos of my own wedding day. I want to always be able to look at the pictures and remember that we have the ability to only see the good in each other if we choose to.<\/p>\n
\u201cFind someone who isn\u2019t afraid to admit that they miss you. Someone who knows that you\u2019re not perfect, but treats you as if you are. Someone whose biggest fear is losing you One who give their heart completely. Someone who says I love you and means it.\u00a0\u00a0 Last but not the least, find someone who wouldn\u2019t mind waking up with you I the morning, seeing your wrinkles and your gray hair but still falls in love with you all over again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This weekend take the time to look at the photos from your own wedding (if you are married). Notice the twinkle in your eyes and the smiles you gave each other.
