Our Wedding Vow Renewal

While we kept our day simple in many ways (aside from Martin surprising me with the most beautiful ring), our day was rich in meaning, brimming with love, and honestly surpassed all my expectations. Our love has deepened so much over this past year and it feels as though we're starting new & fresh, and more in love than ever. I'm so thankful for that! And so grateful & proud of the wonderful man Martin strives to be. Relationships undoubtedly take work - but it's worth all the bumps when you know you're growing stronger & stronger, and make a great team. Excited to share a little bit of our day with you! 

We started our vow renewal on Saturday and planned a nice chill day at home. It was perfect! The sun was pouring in, we lit candles and played soft piano music in the background. We both wrote & read our vows, we cried, we laughed, and Martin surprised me with a ring to commemorate the day. It absolutely took my breath away and I can't wait to share more on the ring he chose in next week's blog post. Yay! I then set up an indoor picnic for us, we munched, talked & talked, snuggled, and it was wonderful!

The next day, we headed down to the ocean for our finale and lucked out with warm weather, and managed to find a quiet & private nook for ourselves. Martin shared two of his favourite bible versus on marriage, and we decided to write down what we're letting go of in our lives & relationship. Just as we were about to let our tiny pieces of torn paper fall into the ocean... a gentle wind gust came and swept it off our palms. We watched as our papers fluttered in the wind, before falling into the ocean and get carried away. It was so magical, symbolic, and felt like a new chapter. Unencumbered by the past, and full of hope for the future! Thanks for letting me share my day with you friends - means so much!! xo
