Cheers to 4 Years.

It's hard to believe that four years have gone by since our wedding. 4 years! I think, and more importantly I hope, that our wedding day will always feel like it was just yesterday.

Playing along with my typical fun facts Friday, here are 5 of the best memories we have together to date:

1. We've been lucky enough to have traveled both 5,000 miles west to Hawaii and 3,500 miles east to Morocco. Rich in memories, not savings is best right? ;)

2. We rescued this little guy. Best.decision.ever. Well, behind saying yes to J.

3. We've celebrated the weddings of our brothers and sister. One brother to go!

Meg & Dan / Jackie & Adrian / Natalie & Greg

4. We bought our first place together in the city. Sold said place, and have now started a life in a house in the suburbs.

5. And most importantly, we've had so much fun! I can't picture my life with anyone else. And I am so excited to see what the future brings.

And baby, the way you move me it's crazy

It's like you see right through me

And make it easier

Believe me, you don't even have to try

Oh because, you are the best thing

You are the best thing

You are the best thing

Ever happened to me

Baby, we've come a long way, baby

You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me

When I say this love will never fade away

Oh because, you are the best thing

You are the best thing

You are the best thing

Ever happened to me

Cheers to our lifetime together.

Our Wedding: Party Pics

One of my greatest memories of our wedding revolves around the dance floor. It was packed!

Before the party pics I wanted to share this. These two lovebirds were laughing at each others jokes before they even knew each other! Crazy, right?!

On to our wedding party!

Our junior bridesmaids and flower girls. Beautiful girls!

 I have never seen my mom laugh like this! 

 We were all shocked when my dad got in the middle of the dance circle. So much fun!

My in-laws are such great dancers! 

 J&A!

What a great memory this is. You can see my Nona in shock in the background. My dad was never a big dancer until then.

These guys are killin it! My father-in-law didn't stop dancing the entire night. I just love that man.

 Even the guys were singing! :)

How amazing is this picture?!! 

Like I said, we had a GREAT party! Can we do it again? :)

3 Years, Cheers!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful Husband. 

To the man who drives me to work daily, even though it's walking distance. 

To the man who makes me breakfast in bed at times, coffee on weekends, and takes Tucker out so I can sleep in. 

To the man who keeps my wine glass full.

Who takes me to open houses even though we're not quite ready to move and entertains my dreams of the perfect future home.

Who will travel with me near and far, just so we can experience it together.

Who "believes" every one of my shopping excuses.

To my, God willing, future, baby daddy.

To the man I look forward to spending the rest of my life with, happy anniversary. 

I love you.

(I know, I lied yesterday. But I promise you, party pics tomorrow!)

Wedding Wednesday: Cheers to Us!

How fast time flies. Tomorrow will be the 3-year anniversary of our wedding. I can't believe it has been 3 years already!

We had such an amazing day. The weather was cool but not too cold, the sky was clear, we were surrounded by the best of our family and friends, and we partied all night. It was a great celebration. The dancing started before dinner even ended and lasted until they kicked us out.

Today, I'll cover details from our big day. Tomorrow, some party highlights. :)

Our wedding was October 11, 2009. We had a church ceremony followed by our reception nearby at The Villa. I loved our venue. Great service, great food, modern decor.

My dress was by Casablanca, shoes were Nina. If you're looking for a wedding dress in the Boston area you MUST go to the Bridal Secret.

On to the church!

I wish I could remember what was said in this photo. Love the reactions!

 Like I said, SURROUNDED by loved ones supporting us as we started off our life together.

Our bridal party = one good lookin crew

If you know J, you know he loves fishing. I wasn't sure what I wanted for a cake topper really. But when I stumbled upon this one, there was no question it wouldn't be perfect.

Our parents, our grandparents. We love you all so much.

Oh how I loved my flowers. Even though we had a fall wedding, purple roses were an absolute must. That may have been the first decision I made. You see, J has given me purple roses for years. They are by far my favorite rose. Sorry for the serious photo here, didn't realize my face was going to be in it. This ring is J's grandmothers wedding band. It was my something borrowed and it meant the world to me. J's grandmother was one of the sweetest women I knew and I am so happy I was able to spend quite a few years with her before she passed.

Oh it's so fun to go back through the photos of our day. I am so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life. He is my best friend, my support system, makes me laugh daily, and it certainly doesn't hurt that he's handsome.

I love these candid photos. Captured us perfectly. 

I couldn't be prouder, or more grateful, to call this man my Husband.

Party time tomorrow!
