5 Years Down...and a Long Ways to Go!

A few months after we were married Tom and I got onto the subject of "forever" and I suddenly got really wide-eyed and said, "Whoa, we've got a long ways to go!" Tom got a kick out of my sudden "realization" and actually still teases me about that today. But I've gotta say, I kinda like this guy I call my hubby and I truly am looking forward to every bit of that "long ways to go" we have to spend together! Happy 5 years babe!



P.S. Family, if you're lucky, maybe next year I'll post the horror film version of our wedding video.

I'm such a baby at weddings. The video of your wedding is very nice and yes, it made me cry. Happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Love the video and all the shots of the little kids that were there! Who did it? I also loved the smile on your face when he would talk to you and say something funny! You two are so sweet together!!

Aw, congrats! What a beautiful videa - so fun to watch and peek at you on your wedding day! You look beautiful!

Ginger said...

Come on!!! Maybe you could put the horror version up on a day that you're mad at Tom. I always forget about that video until someone mentions it. You should post both and have an opinion poll over who likes which one best. :)

Oh my gosh Rachel- I love that video! It's so perfect...I wish that we had such an awesome video of our wedding. Happy 5 years!

Stephanie said...

Those shots were great; they really capture the emotion of the day. You were beautiful, and still look the same today! Don't you age? Hope you had a great anniversary. They say the first 5 years are the hardest, and if that is true it's all smooth from here on out.

I want to see the horror video!!1 You looked beautiful and so in love.

Amy said...

So cute, Rachel. Almost made me teary-eyed. That's the way it should be...you look so happy. I wish we had one of those for our wedding day. Oh, wait, it was pre-hurricane wind that day...maybe not the best atmosphere.

How Funny!! Brian and I celebrated our 7 years of marriage on the 23rd as well. The video is awesome. I feel like I was married in the "dark ages"--All I could rummage up of our wedding were negatives of pictures that were taken on that day. AND I think Reese would have looked great up on the stand today!!

Marisa said...

Happy anniversary!!! I'm pretty sure that I said the same thing last year...but I cannot believe how fast the time has flown and yet it's also seemed like a million years ago that you got married. I still feel mildly nauseous when I remember watching you get picture and having the worst morning sickness. But wait...that's all about me?!? I just love you guys and you are sooooo perfectly matched for each other.

Sarah said...

Happy Anniversary!

Heidi said...

So just out of curiosity - how did you finally get the video online?

KT said...

That was pretty much, in all honesty, the most gorgeous wedding video I've ever seen. Whoever did that is amazing. You two looked like movies stars! I love my extended family.

Hollie said...

I remember when you showed this video to me. I am so sorry that we keep missing each other. I will call you tomorrow again and I will keep calling until I get a hold of you. HAPPY LATE ANNIVERSARY!!! You two are such a dang cute couple. Love you!

So cute! I always forget that you guys have been married as long as us. I guess you still act like newlyweds.

Marissa Marie said...

Ha ha, I made the video! Oh yeah, and it's a really cute video, partly because I'm in it, mostly because you and Tom are in it. ;)

What a great video of you guys! You look so beautiful on your wedding day & now you are expecting baby 2?! Crazy how time flies by. Well, happy anniversary (a little late!)
