Love Ramblings...

Love is contagious and awe inspiring.  It can be scary, unpredictable and consuming.  Love can push you to your limits and take your breath away.  It can take you places you've never been and make you feel more vulnerable than you thought possible.  It can sweep you off your feet and turn your world up side down.

I am lucky to say that I'm surrounded by love, and I get to see it all the time with my job.  Whenever I tell people what I do, their first response is always, 'Wow, that sounds like so much fun!'  It is fun, but it's also hard work, stressful at times and the perfect fit for me.  I LOVE what I do.  I get to see couples devote themselves to another person with all the love and affection they have to give.  I won't deny my love for stunning decor, the perfect dress/shoes/flowers/centerpieces, but it's really the love that gets me.  Do you know that feeling?  When nothing else matters about this ridiculous amazing wedding you've planned, other than the fact that these two people love each other?  That's what really gets me and makes me love what I do.  I still get teary eyed during the vows.

True love is worth cherishing and how you love and need to be loved changes.  I've been with my husband since I was fifteen, eleven years ago.  I remember wanting to spend every moment with him and giddy (as a fifteen year old should be) to finally have a serious (and older) boyfriend.  That summer we met, not long after dating, we said I love you and we meant it.  We've had our ups and downs growing together and as we matured, so did our love for each other.  I've realized you can't be afraid to ask for more if you feel like something is missing.  Needs change and I want to grow old with him, this man that I love. 

I must admit that sometimes our love does scare me.  Not in a bad way, but how completely my life is wrapped around him and how lost I would feel with out him.  I try to not dwell on these feelings, because I'd rather spend my time enjoying the moments with him.  I must try and remember that.
