YAAAAAAY!

The marriage of you and Gabriel is proof that there is SO much good in the world.

Hope restored.

I'm so glad that you found each other.

Thanks for sharing so freely.

And what a perfect wedding venue:

I love the Daybreak Star Center.

Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary!! I’m so happy you two not only found your way to each other, but made that promise in front of so many people who love you both. It’s such a powerful way to show the depth of the love you have for each other! And my husband & I have always said that we’ve both just gotten married moments ago & also always been married since forever. I like to think that just like you & Gabriel, it means that we found the right partner to share our life with, bc it feels both fresh & new as well as old & permanent. Sending you love for many years more just like this!

Honestly, you both look stunning. Even after experiencing my own bad luck at my wedding*, I never would’ve guessed y’all had such a difficult time. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

I love "the soup" metaphor. I spend a lot of time stirring the soup.

This is among the most beautiful things I have ever read about marriage. Bravo you two. Love wins. Love deepens. Love is ever present even on shitty days.

I appreciate how you reflected on all the annoying details that can and do go awry in our plans, and yet make little difference in the overall trajectory of our love and care for one another, and perhaps focus that love in a way that overcomes and overpowers what amounts to background noise. 1 Corinthians 13 says it best for me...

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails", even when people do! Blessings...JR
