Weak in the Knees...

First, I apologize for being a bad blogger...school has been crazy and I am not going to lie this will probably be my last post until finals are over on May 9th! PARTY! Second, WARNING I am about to gush about my hubby, the first year of marriage, and our wedding. sorry I am not sorry.

Our one year anniversary is coming up on April 30th, and I it has definitely made me relfect on the past year, realize how blessed we are, and made me day dream about reliving our wedding. tear. I am as weak in the knees for my husband today as I was the day I met him. I can't believe that around this time last year I was getting ready to marry my best friend and worrying about last minute wedding details. This past year has definitely been a lovely adjustment...we got married, moved to Dallas, started law school....definitely never a dull moment. I love how marriage makes a relationship grow in a way that you never thought it could, and makes you learn new things about eachother even when you have been together for 9 years. Like how Lucas can't simply close something softly...he is a slammer. He slams doors, cabinets, drawers, anything without even realizing he is doing it. And he definitely learned how I have a "doing the dishes" problem. But that is the beauty of it all...you learn to be patient and to love the other person for who they really are more than you already did.

One of the reasons I think I day dream about our wedding ALL the time is because it was the happiest time of my life. I got to spend precious time with my little Wilcox family while I was living at home, had no worries, and I was about to say "I do" to the man of my dreams. Seriously so care free. pure bliss. Not only was it such a happy time, but I put so much time, thought, and effort into making our special day our version of perfect. It really was a labor of love and I felt so proud of the day we had put together to celebrate with our family and friends. To Lucas and I it was perfection (as I am sure everyone feels about their own wedding). Everything had a purpose for being there...it was a reflection of who we are as a couple. From the hydrangeas (one of my faves), to the sushi (our fave date dinner food) and cigar roller (lucas. duh.) at the cocktail hour, to the dinner with the lump crab stuffed jumbo shrimp (love me some crab) and steak (lucas' man food), all the way down to every single cocktail served and every song played as well as each party favor handed out (we both love a good party).

           I die. Food tasting. Can I have our wedding meal once a week please?

                                                      Crisp.                                                                  

                                         Drink tasting. um yes please.

          I have a picture of Kendall hovering around these tables. priceless.

                                        Comfy feet are happy feet.

       Wish I still had a bony back. I miss my trainer. JR rockin it with the boa.

                     Most surreal feeling ever. Truly the happiest moment of my life.

We are so excited to experience all of our friends upcoming weddings...especially when you have 12 of them in 2012 like us. I love the uniqueness of every wedding we go to, and how I always leave telling Lucas how that was "very them" in regards to the feel and look of the wedding. So much love. I love it.

Once finals are over we are going to celebrate the special day, and I can't wait! Even though we have to celebrate a little late my hubby gave me our anniversary present early so that taking a contracts final on our anniversary will be a little less painful. I love him. In honor of our wedding day almost a year ago below is a link to our wedding trailer. just a little obsessed. xoxo
