How in the world…
It’s hard to believe that our wedding day was three years ago. How did time pass so quickly? Just the other day, I was in a store and mentioned I was purchasing something in preparation for my wedding anniversary. “Oh! Your first anniversary?” she asked. “No – third, actually!” She seemed surprised by my answer and noted that I must have been married very young, since I still look like a baby. Oh well! I am just glad to know that (sometimes) I look younger than my real age. It’s bound to catch up to me some day…
Ah, that dress. That lovely lace dress. I had to have about 50 fittings for the darn thing. It ended up fitting like a glove, thank goodness. From the start, I said I would sell it after the wedding so another bride could enjoy it…but the dress still hangs in the closet in our guest bedroom. I’m torn – I’ve held onto it for this long, perhaps I should really decide what to do with it.
I still remember the planning process for the wedding. We were married before Pinterest existed (hard to believe a day before that, right?), so I had to source my inspiration from other places. We ended up with a lot of personal DIY details (my grandmother made our table linens, we created our own photo booth wall, my mom and I sourced all of the vases for our floral arrangements, we created a wish tree guestbook…), but oh, the things I would have done had Pinterest been around to fuel the fire…
So, happy anniversary to my love – it’s been a great three years. Here’s to many many more…
If you want to take a look back at our wedding, you can read about it in the archives!
Happy anniversary! I am the same with my dress but even worse since it is still in California and I do not want to pay to ship it here to Sweden but I still do not want to get rid of it!
Happy anniversary! You were such a beautiful bride. 🙂
Happy anniversary! I remember reading about your planning on Weddingbee back in the day. I also can’t believe it’s been three years!
Isn’t it crazy how time flies like that? I can’t believe three years have passed either.
Awe!! So sweet. Happy anniversary to you and Justin. The photo booth wall is adorable. Love the dress and love the shoes. You were stunning!
You were a beautiful bride but I’m biased! I will never tire of looking at the wedding photos.
Happy Anniversary. It really is amazing how time flies.
Agreed – trying to hold onto moments as they pass by so quickly!
Happy anniversary, Katie!
Happy three years!!
Thanks Layla! 🙂

I am glad to know I’m not alone with the wedding dress situation! Perhaps one day we’ll make up our minds…
