Marriage the second time around

If you had asked me just after I walked away from my first marriage if I ever wanted to walk down the aisle again my answer would have been a definite no, after the heartbreak and the ugliness that was my divorce I wasn’t willing to go through that or put my children through that again, I told my now hubby that at the time and he said he was happy with whatever my decision was…

As time wore on my mind-set began to change when I realized that my hubby was it for me, I could never see myself with another partner because he is so much more than just my husband, he is my partner, my best friend, my solace in sad or hard times, my light in the dark, the water to my fire, literally he is my perfect balance and every day with him is one that I am grateful for, in the end we planned our wedding in 5 weeks, it was small and intimate, everything I hoped it would be and as I look back at the pictures now even though I was not at my best body or health wise it is very clear how happy I was that day and so I decided I would like to share some of the pictures with you all.

We arranged and did everything ourselves from the decor to the food, my make-up and hair, even my dress was my mother’s which I altered, our families were an incredible help and support and I can truly say next to the births of my children it was one of the happiest days of my life, well 2 actually because we had a formal ceremony as well as a hand fasting (Pagan Ceremony).

It was important to me to have my boys help and be present

Hand Fasting

 If you have been through the collapse or end of a first marriage I urge you not to rule out ever going down that path again, it is such a wonderful thing to share with your partner and I will never regret making the decision to give my hand.. and my heart again.
