Today is mine and Darren’s fourth wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. It feels like the day was just yesterday.
I’m trying to focus on the happy today. After all, it is the day Darren and I vowed to spend the rest of our lives together.
But this is also one of the last milestones I got to celebrate with my dad, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking about him a lot today.
While weddings are about committing to a life partner, there is also a large part of them that is about honoring your parents—especially the father of the bride.
I always dreamed about the first moment he got to see me in my wedding dress; about walking arm-in-arm with him down the aisle, and dancing to Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle for the father/daughter dance.
As I was reflecting on that wonderful&perfect day four years ago, I remembered the Facebook post he wrote to mark the celebration.
It means the world to me that my dad loved my husband. I will forever cherish the memories we created together that special day.
