it was a day just like this
twelve plus years ago
that I said yes
to the best
and hardest commitment
i’ve ever made
but yet
despite
the tears
the losses
the daily struggles
that make us wonder
if we’re on the right path
that decision
to be together
is not one
i’ve ever questioned
and days like this
brilliant blue
shaded with smoky grays
cluttered with billowing whites
the open sky
embuing in us
a sense of cleansing
new life
the conviction
that anything
is possible
i remember
a day just like this
twelve plus years ago
i said yes
to the best person i know
the one i have since loved
imperfectly
but
with passion
with complete trust
without reservation
without regret for what we have been
content with who we are
and hope in what we will become
it was a day just like this
when what i thought
would always be just a dream
became
my past
my present
my future
it was a day just like this
brilliant blues
shaded by smoky grays
and cluttered with billowy whites
when you
moved from my dreams
to my reality

I love how grandma is just chillin with a cup of tea… looking totally oblivious to you guys in the back drop!
Haha! It’s one of my favorite pics for that reason. She’s thinking, “Eh…another wedding. This is GOOD coffee.”
Love this poem.
