A year, so long so short.

Tomorrow will be a year ago I stood at the end of an aisle, awestruck of my soon-to-be husband in all his Zoot-suited glory. Wolfish hair, defying gravity gorgeously, those eyes that show his love for me on me and only me...and that smile that brings me through any hard place to smile alongside him. On the arm of my father, my Dad whispers to me to take my time. Most of me wants to just bolt down the aisle to him, but the part of me that knows better listens. I feel all eyes on me, nervously trying to smile. What seems like an eternity, I reach him, his smile bigger than ever, but not as big when he finally could see me, I could tell he was in awe. In awe of me. I was amazed. Never before had I had someone be that truly in awe of me. I felt like a glittering diamond..even if my dress didn't have hundreds of glittering beads that made me look like I was glowing in the setting sun of 7:00 pm. For the first time in my life, I felt truly beautiful. This year I would have not survived without my Zach, to be there for me.

I love you, Zachary. You are my greatest love and my best friend.
