Happy 6th Anniversary!
6 years ago, we tied the knot, said I do, made vows to each other and to God. August 3rd 2019 is forever one of my favorite days because that's when we started our journey together as husband and wife! I was so ready for that day! If you were to ask anyone in my friends circle that have been in my friend circle since childhood and some of the ones I met in my teens and 20s they'll tell you I was born ready and beyond ready for my turn to meet and marry My Darling Charming! My WHOLE family will say the same too! I knew he was the one right from the start, since meeting June 26 2017 and I'm sure he felt the same, it was the matter of timing and getting to know each other that helped waiting for him to pop the question and for our wedding day to arrive well worth it! I nearly laughed when I heard one of my nephews , ( my brother's youngest) ask Jeremy when and if he was to become his uncle one day. Also I know I laughed when that same nephew made the statement that he could finally call Jeremy his uncle! Like I said My WHOLE family would tell you I was beyond ready for my turn to become some's wife and that they too were beyond ready and excited that my turn had come! Happy Anniversary my Darling Charming Jeremy Risher I love you so so much and more! And I thank God for bringing you into my life! Here's to many more awesome adventures together, adventures full of love and laughter and everything else in between!
Reaching six years in marriage feels like a significant milestone, doesn't it? For me, it's a beautiful blend of deep comfort and exciting new growth. When I think about what '6 years of us' truly means, it's beyond just the calendar days since we said 'I do.' It's about every shared laugh, every challenge overcome, and every quiet moment of understanding that has woven our lives tighter together. Our wedding day, with all its magic—like seeing my darling Jeremy's face as we embraced, and that beautiful peach-colored floral bouquet I held—feels like yesterday, yet we've built so much since then. Six years signifies a robust foundation, much like the traditional 'iron' gift, symbolizing strength and durability. But it also has a sweetness, often associated with 'sugar candy,' reminding us of the joy and delightful moments that keep the spark alive. At the six-year mark, I've learned that love isn't just a sudden spark, but a continuous, intentional flame. It's about growing together, even when paths might slightly diverge, and always finding our way back to each other. We've navigated career changes, family dynamics, and simply the day-to-day rhythms of life as husband and wife. It's in these everyday moments, even more than the grand gestures, that our '6 years of love' truly shine. There's a deeper understanding, a non-verbal communication that develops, and a profound sense of partnership that makes you feel truly seen and loved. For anyone wondering how to celebrate 'six years of marriage' or just keep that connection strong, I've found a few things invaluable. Firstly, never stop dating each other! Even if it's just a coffee date or a walk in the park. Secondly, communicate openly—it sounds cliché, but truly sharing your thoughts and feelings, even the tough ones, builds incredible resilience. Thirdly, appreciate the small things. A morning coffee made for you, a shared glance, a comforting hug. These are the threads that strengthen the 'iron' of your relationship. And lastly, dream together. What are your next adventures? Planning for the future, whether it's a big trip or just a quiet evening at home, keeps the excitement alive. Remember the happy bride and groom you were, full of hope, and keep nurturing that dream. So, when I look back at '6 years to this day,' I see not just a personal journey, but a testament to commitment, patience, and unwavering love. It's a journey I wouldn't trade for anything, and I'm so grateful for every single moment. This milestone isn't just about celebrating the past; it's about looking forward with even more anticipation to the many 'adventures full of love and laughter' that lie ahead. Here's to understanding the profound meaning of 'us' and cherishing every chapter of this beautiful love story.
