It's our wedding anniversary today! Our 9th to be exact. Nine year ago we were in Vegas and got married. No big wedding, no entourage, no bridezilla ;) It was just the two of us with Jason and my Mom as witnesses. It was a spur of the moment thing. I didn't even wear a wedding gown. My in-laws didn't know we got married until Mark returned to Canada a week after. They were shocked of course but very happy for us.
After we got married, our story wasn't a "happily-ever-after" thing. Like most married couples we've had our ups and downs, challenges, triumphs, you know, the usual stuff that goes hand in hand with marriage. But I've cherished every moment of those nine years. It's what made me a better person and the two of us, better husband/wife.
The past year has been our most challenging and difficult time by far. I had breast cancer. One would think it would dampen our marriage but in fact I think it even made it stronger. I felt Mark's unwavering love and support for me. He has been my strength the past year and I could not have done it without him. It chokes me up just thinking of the stuff he's done for me. I'm lucky to have him. :)
So I salute my one true love for sticking it out with me through thick and thin. I'm looking forward to many more years with you beside me. Happy anniversary my love!
