Erik is the one. I have these moments of calm with him, my mind becomes still and my heart at peace. Minutes after he proposed as we drove in the car we shared one of these peaceful, quiet moments. Nothing else mattered, Erik is the one.
Seeing the look of relief, joy on my Dad's face. He now could pass along the duty of providing for me and protecting me. My dad's love for me is deep, I can tell by the way he looks at me. My dad's respect for Erik is immense, I can tell by the way he looks at him.
Hearing my brother say "I have a brother now!!"
The warm embraces from Erik's family. I have felt a part of their family for awhile, this made it official!!
The many talks, plans, daydream sessions with my mom, the laughter the joy, the giggling and screaming (out of excitement). From the serious talks about how to be a godly wife to the deep conversations of hair and makeup :)
Asking my girls if they would be in our bridal party. I made sure to ask each one individually, in person. With each one comes a different story.. most with tears and hugs and one with intense laughter.
With so many friends and family members investing so much love, time, and care into our big day, and even more than that so many have invested in Erik and I as a couple. I remember in detail all the time spent with loved ones preparing for the big day. I will not list them all here but I have felt so treasured and loved throughout the past year, what an incredible blessing!!
Its so easy to get caught up in the small details, to worry or stress. I am not going to remember every detail. I will forever remember time spent with the ones I love. Moments in time where nothing else matters, Erik is the one.
