On The Sixteenth

by Heather on December 16, 2009

in Heather,Mike

Three years ago I woke up to rain.

My friends came over and helped me get ready.

We hung out a little bit while we waited for the rain to clear.

When the rain stopped, we danced in the streets.

We stood in the shadows of famous buildings.

An a capella group from our college sang rock and Christmas songs (every wedding needs a capella Smashing Pumpkins)…

The SoCal VoCals

and a Fab Foursome sang us some classics.

Beatles Band

We ate cake.

Did I mention the dancing?

We got married.

The Ceremony

The rain that morning didn’t bother me at all.

We’ve had the for better. We’ve had the for worse.

We have each other.

That’s a lot going on in your lives for having being married only 3 years. I thought you guys were married longer as you two seem so in sync with each other. Of course, what happened to sweet Madeline will have had its impact. But as you wrote a while back: it made the bond stronger. A lot of marriages don’t last after the loss of a baby. I am glad that the two of you lived the for better and for worse part…, and I am truly hoping that the for better part will will come back soon, when baby binky makes her entry…
Wishing lots of good things for the both of you, Heather and Mike.
p.s. I loved your wedding dress…

Your pictures are absolutely stunning – you were a truly beautiful bride!!

On my BFF’s wedding day there was a tornado accompanied by a typhoon of rain (in December. in Indiana) – and everyone told her that it meant they would be together for life.

I was married a bit over three years ago in that same dress! I hope you felt as awesome in that dress as I did. Corset dresses are like a hug that you keep on for hours.

Congratulations! Looks like it was a wonderful day.

Corset dresses make you look HOT but man, was I happy to take that thing off at the end of the day. My ribs have yet to recover.

What a gorgeous wedding and couple! Happy Anniversary- my husband and I also had a Dec wedding (12/14) and I told my son a couple days ago that it was the birthday of our family. And so today is the #3 bday of your lovely family. Undoubtedly, Maddie is enjoying a bday cream puff in your honor. While you’ve been trying to just survive daily during most of year #2, sublime to it all was the strengthening of your marriage which is no easy feat.
The love you had for each other that day in 2006 is obvious, as it is today even more so apparent, even to people who know you via your bloglife only. Congratulations!

Wow, I can’t believe you have only been married for three years. For some reason, I thought it had been much longer. I guess because of the trust and commitment you display for one another. Of course, you certainly have your reasons for that.

Happy Anniversary! Much love to your family.

Hey Heather,

WOW – You really nailed this entry!!! Many people often quote *for better or for worse” but they truly have no idea what it is like to experience the very Worse together.

The reason I come to your site on a daily basis, other then of course,to send you messages of support, love and friendships. Plus, b/c of my illness, I am often home a lot during the day. Reading & responding to you posts makes me feel less alone. I will ALWAYS appreciate you for that.

I really do find your life to be interesting and unique! I love how you and Mike compliment each other and how you both just seem to have SSSOOO much fun with each other.. I love to hear your stories, see your video’s & pictures.

But, the BEST part of coming here is watching Maddie’s video and hearing you and Mike laugh in the background!! I LOVE THAT!!! When this does happen, I smile and laugh instantly and am just so touched to see how much you were enjoying your Maddie and just how lucky she was to have such FUN and LOVING parents.

I hope you are able to celebrate your Anniversary in the way you had hoped to. Happy Anniversary to you Heather and Mike. Just think of all of the positives that are all about to come to light!! I coudn’t think of another couple who deserve it more than the both of you!

Have a wonderful day!!!
CHEERS to you both!!!
Sincerely,
Jenn

OMG! I was OK until I got to the end and saw the words, “we’ve had the better……..we’ve had the worse…….we have each other.” Then the tears just sprang into my eyes!

However you think of God, and I hope it is good, I pray buckets and buckets of blessings to be poured over all of you and Rigby too. Life is a journey and no matter what happens on this journey, there is a God and He is all good, and even though He asks us to hurt sometimes and to give up things we want badly in this life, He has a reason and it is usually 100% for our good.

May God bless you and I wish you a very blessed anniversary!
