Remembering August 7th, 2009

During our dating years, we would take turns planning date nights. August 2009 was Eric's month and he cooked dinner for me. As always, I like to put my hair up before I eat, so I ran upstairs to get a hair tie... and Eric followed me. I thought that was odd, but then as I entered my room... Eric's huge computer screen was set up on my desk, with the words "click me". So I sat down and watched the most beautiful montage of our dating life. At the end were the words I had been anxiously awaiting and a handsome man knelt on one knee behind me holding the best present I've ever received!

I can understand why he wanted me to go to my room after we ate dinner.... I was too excited to eat! So instead, we picked up a bottle of champagne and headed up to the boat where my family was and celebrated at the dock!


The cork flew into the water, so my uncle jumped into the dingy to save it!

The saddest thing about our wedding day was the technical difficulties with the engagement slideshow not playing all the way through. So this is my simple way of sharing our special day with everyone. Sorry it's not a video, I'm not technically savvy and didn't know how to put it in! Click play on the youtube video while you click through the slides. That's what was playing in the background while I watched.

I cried all the way through it! So beautiful. It would be so cool if you made one of these for every year of your lives together! If you are blessed to live as long as your grandparents you'd have 75(?) videos! Thank you for posting this. It really is beautiful. (great choice on the music, Eric)
