one year

this time and day last year, i was preparing to marry my bestfriend. we were already checked in at the hotel and touring my brothers within the vicinity. we were in a relaxed mood, enjoying every single moment of anticipation. i'm not an OC bride to begin with so i was not stressing over the teeny weeny details. as long as the basics are there, we're good.

even though i have to admit that i'm somewhat of a flirt when i was a teen, i'm proud to say that i have only been with one man in my life. save for this one relationship with a girl after i broke his heart the first time, i'm the only girl he has ever been in love with, too. the "spark" thing was there the first moment i spoke with him on the phone that we ended up talking about lots of stuff in an hour, both of us forgetting that he was only supposed to deliver an "iloveyou" message for me from one of his friend.

b, in all honesty, is everything i hoped for, everything i've been dreaming of ever since i was aware of what being in love means. my entrance song "when God made you" couldn't have been more apt, it was written for us.

i have known b half of my life. those 15+ years of togetherness were not pure bliss and i am thankful for that because it's what made us genuinely happy, content and full of love in our marriage today. ours is very rare these days. together 24 hrs a day (and still missing each other every few minutes) and not a single feeling of constraint. we both want the same things and yet complement each other, as people around us say. every single day is filled with laughter, hugs and kisses. every single day is bliss.

tomorrow is our first year and we'll be staying at discovery suites after all. super thanks to dealgrocer for re-stocking. now excuse me as i go pack our stuff.
