Hi. I am Mrs. Russell and I am pleased to be back.
Its been a while but getting married isn't as easy as the movies make it seem. They don't show you that life continues to go on as you say "I Do." There is moving in involved. There is unpacking and writing thank-you notes involved. There is entertaining involved. And if you are like me, there is school involved.
But those are all details compared to the day I married my best friend.
It was more perfect than I ever dreamed it would be. And if you know me, you know
that I have dreamed of this day all my life.
There are no words to describe the feeling of walking arm-in-arm
with your daddy down the aisle.
Or the look that your groom gives you when he sees you.
Or the feeling of knowing that in a matter of moments, it won't
just be you anymore. It was sheer perfection.
My favorite part of the service was where Me and Mr. Russell
washed each other's feet. We got the idea from here and I have never felt so vulnerable
in my life. There is something so personal about washing
someone's feet but then having them wash your feet
is even more humbling. At that moment I knew that we were whole.
Service to Jesus and to each other is our goal in life and
washing each other's feet was our way of showing the world of our commitment
to that.
Now here are some pictures for your entertainment.
Ok now on to the Honeymoon...
DISNEY WORLD!
This was in the Magic Kingdom and I was like a little kid.
I ran around the whole time and I think I even drooled when I
saw Cinderella's castle. One word: Jealous.
My sweet husband booked dinner at Chef Mickey's.
This is a restaurant in which all the characters come around to your table
while you are eating to visit. I am star struck. I kept having to
tell myself that they are real people. I was ridiculous.
Minnie Mouse looked at our rings and she wanted to
take out picture with them showing.
I was on cloud nine knowing that Minnie saw my bling.
I called my mom immediately.
These 2 should be best friends.
And for the Grand Finale.....
Cinderella.
We had dinner with all the princesses and I think
I ma have, quite possibly, defiantly hyperventilated
when she came to our table.
It was better than meeting the Queen of England.
Thanks for taking this journey with me.
I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings
with me and my man.
And just remember...
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true.
