Wood, Silver, Daisies & Turquoise

June 14, 2008 -

Five years ago I donned a (poofy) white wedding gown.  I walked down the aisle, arm in arm with my father, staring at the man that I would call my husband.  I repeated the traditional "I do" vows and was called a wife for the first time. Five years ago I married Frank Glodek...and it was the BEST decision of my life.

Five years later and I am more in love with the man I said "I do" to all those years ago. I didn't think it was possible to love my husband more than I did on our wedding day. Frank has been my blanket on cold mornings, my nurse on hot nights, my comic relief after a long day at work and my shoulder to cry on whenever necessary. He's an integral part of my life and I honestly can't imagine it without him.

These past five years have solidified our bond more than my words can express. We have experienced countless events (both great and devastating) that have shaped us into the married couple we are today. And I cherish that we are growing together.

So why wood, silver, daisies and turquoise? These subjects are symbolic 5th anniversary gifts; traditional, modern, flower & gemstone (respectively).  Frank and I have not really exchanged physical gifts on our collective anniversaries but emotionally, he has made me one rich lady! 

I have never been one of those women who believes in the fairytale marriage.  But I have one that is pretty damn close. Happy Anniversary, Frank!
