Reflections of a Newlywed

So .... More than 24 hours ago I was at the salon getting my hair done, having a toast to my upcoming ceremony and thinking of what Doug was doing right then. Now are are in aother state getting ready to begin our honeymoon. I expected time to go fast and it was always on my mind the entire day and night ... but man time really did go fast!

I've never felt so much happiness in one day. I feel guilty saying that when I have Jaden, but his birthday was different....it came with exhaustion and nursing. Still one of the greatest days, just in a different way. Our wedding day had a lightness and honesty about it. Doug and I have pledge our lives together. To be there for one another and to be each other's constant support.

Over breakfast I asked Doug what his favorite memory was of the day ... he said it was dancing. I think my favorite part was how carefree everyone was....Doug was humorous and outgoing. I was roaming and soalizing. All the while, Doug and I had each other on our minds. We kissed at every chance we had and held hands most of the night. It is a memory that will serve as my reminder to always be there for him. To hold his hand through life and to kiss and make up.

I think one of my favorites, although it's hard to select just one ... was the limo ride. We had all of our closest friends and family there to celebrate us. Sherri brought good music and Rachael brough great drinks. It was a time to be silly and let loose. We could get obnoxious and just be goofy. We even were able to meet up with Katie for a mutual wedding photo opportunity. I can't put into words how wonderful it was to have my girls next to me ... both new girls and those that have always been there. The Rappis kids were so grown up and such a pleasure to have there. Syd wore her high tops the whole day ... they were rockin'!

Thank you to everyone who made it down or up to celebrate with us. We are so blessed to have friends and family like all of you! We will be thinking of you on our honeymoon and can't wait to remenise about the wedding with you when we get back!

Love, Mrs. Melissa Bissing
