3 years ago today, at about this time, I was probably putting final touches on my makeup,talking to the photographer, and constantly looking at the clock to see how close we were getting to 4pm. In just a little while, I would have the most beautiful--and uncomfortable-- dress that I would ever wear slipped over my head. I would step into my shoes, hug my emotional father, and have my mother place the delicate veil over my face. The guests would be in place,"Moon River" could be heard lilting off the keys of the grand piano, and the clock would strike 4. This day, August 4, 2007, was my wedding day. The day I left Ally Connelly behind and vowed to take on the role of Ally Stark.
I didn't plan on writing today. I started the blog yesterday, and didn't really feel the need to make an entry. However, when I started thinking about my anniversary, I knew I had to say something!
Andrew Stark. The most marvelous, strong, understanding, patient, funny, pefect man I have ever known. The past three years have far surpassed all that I dreamed of. The day I said that I would marry him, I had high and beautiful hopes for our future. Those hopes have never been dashed, and nothing I could have imagined parallel how wonderful our life is together.
Our journey was such a special one, and I can give credit to none other than our precious Savior for guiding us through it. When those around us, even those we trusted, ridiculed and judged us--our Father stayed constant. He had given us a calling, and a path to be followed. Through His Word, His grace, and those wise enough to look past the seemingly confusing choices that we were making, we completed the journey.
Our relationship today is the reward for that journey.
Three years have flown by and I cannot wait for the next three.
I love you Andrew, and I look so forward to the future that awaits us. Happy Anniversary.
