for better or for worse, for poorer, & in sickness.

for when you fly off the handle.for when i obsess about little things that don't matter.for when you don't replace the toilet paper roll again.for when i fall apart.for when you fall apart & i don't understand why.for when i say something i shouldn't.for when we yell.for when we avoid each other for hours.for when tragedy hits.for when we are inconsolable.for when i don't think to say thank you.for when i say something ugly about someone.for when you just don't want to talk.for when we sit together & cry.for when we both find ourselves wishing, why can't you be a little more this, a little less that.for when things don't go our way.for when we don't understand what life has thrown at us.for when we try our best despite the circumstances.as we watch the marriage vows shared between giggles & tears, as shaky hands slip rings onto fingers, cheering and fist pumps and champagne pops and clinks of glasses and long slugs between dearest ones, when the room just can't contain the happiness -- we smile, and we document with hearts so glad for these days, for these reminders of the best times.for we know that none of us are immune to the days when things might feel a little emptier, for when things aren't so easy. for when the worst parts of you are shown to the other, for when you are poor in spirit or in character, for the many sicknesses that creep up in all of us. for all the ways in which the world will let us down in some way.of course we wish for you, for all of us, none of these things. but we know that they'll come. and for when they do, we wish for the strength to not give up on each other. we wish for you to remember the best of each other, to remember the happiest times, and to press on even if you don't quite know how.hoping to share more from a few of these wedding days above very soon.read part one, here.
