Today is my wedding anniversary. Seven years. It’s almost hard to believe. In some ways those seven years seem so long yet in other ways, it feels like it’s gone by in an instant.
I love to reflect on our wedding day….
How I started the day with a huge smoothie and a pampering of epic proportions at the salon.
Making soup for my Maid of Honour before we headed to the service.
Waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the wedding to start.
Walking into the hall and seeing my groom.
Doing everything I could to keep from singing along to Eva Cassidy’s version of Songbird as I walked up the aisle to my groom.
Stepping on the hem of my dress while climbing up the stairs to the stage. Fortunately I was able to get up there without too much of a disaster.
Standing within arms reach of my groom and looking into his eyes….
However, the most memorable moment is when my dear groom surprised me with a song as part of his wedding vows.

Hey Little Friend
The Northern Lights are dancing bright, up above our heads,
And I’ve never been so sure of anything
Like I’m sure of what I just said…
I love you, my little friend.
I love you, my little Jen.
I love you, my best little friend.
Hey Little Friend,
The stars are out shining across the open sky,
There’s a lot to see and do,
So much ahead for you and I…
And I love you, my little friend.
I love you, my little Jen.
I love you, my best little friend.
Hey Little Friend,
The rain is coming down, hard out there tonight.
It can’t be sunny every day,
But every day I’m with you, everything’s alright…
I love you, my little friend.
I love you, my little Jen.
I love you, my best little friend.
My husband… he is always full of surprises. Seven years ago I married my best friend and every day just keeps on getting better. Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!

Hi Jennifer! Oh my goodness, how did you stand there and not melt into a puddle? Maybe knowing the glasses were coming? That pic of you and your husband with the red (3D?) glasses is just hysterical!
Your husband is such a special guy, no wonder you fell in love. Thank you for sharing such a sweet memory. And he’s a lucky guy too. He’s married to a ‘deliberate Mom’!
Blessings,

Oh my goodness…ugly cry over here!!! That song has the SWEETEST lyrics <3 I would’ve been a crying mess after listening to that. Happy Anniversary!
I always get teary at weddings, especially if there’s a special, individualized song or vows, but I didn’t expect to feel all verklempt just from *reading* these lyrics. That’s just precious…
Hope you had a great anniversary!
Geeze, I just finished reading a birth story that left me in tears and now I come to your blog only for the 7 year love fest to get the tears going again! Your husband is so sweet, happy anniversary! You two are adorable; I wish you many more years of wedded bliss.
I missed this post yesterday but I’m happy I wasn’t too late. Such a great love story and the picture is oh so adorable with both of you. Hubby was super cool singing a song on your big day. Happy anniversary to both of you! May you have lots more years of love and happiness together.
how precious to have your groom serenade you! Hope your day was wonderful!
Happy Anniversary to you both! This is so heart melting…

Oh my gosh what a sweet song! I totally love it and again I teared up and got goosebumps! Thanks so much for sharing something so beautiful!
Much love,
