We will respond and thank everyone individually (eventually) but reading all the anniversary wishes this week has reminded Jarrod and me of all the incredible love that surrounds us and improves our marriage. We’ve made this into a whole anniversary week thing (because, why not at this point in our lives?) and one of the themes has been how abnormally lucky we are to have so many amazing people in our lives, helping us to be better individuals and a better couple.
Thank you. The past two years haven’t been easy (let’s go with “so much harder than we could have imagined that we have both yelled at God about events and struggles of the past two years”), but we’re both still here, able to laugh and rejoice in our love for each other and try to reflect a little bit of that love back out into the world. We never wanted a life of wealth and leisure, we wanted a life where we were able to make a difference and make things better for other people. Because of our loved ones, we’ve been able to keep trying to live that life.
Our wedding was incredible because of our loved ones making it that way. If you want to look back two years and see some of those loved ones, Jonna Michelle Photography has some wedding photos on her blog. Below are just a few of our other favorite shots that never fail to make us smile and feel loved.
Bethany, you look so amazingly beautiful in those photos. Both you and Jarrod positively glow with your love for each other. I feel so lucky to be a part of your journey.
Happy anniversary, dears! You two give me so much hope and faith in humanity. Wonderful pictures. I hope the celebratory week has been awesome.
