I found I had a night to myself, with Danny off jamming with his friends. I had been anxious all day and knew I couldn’t just sit at home. I decided to attend the temple; the Draper Temple to be exact, the very temple Danny and I were married in. It had been awhile since I had attended the temple all by myself.
As I was walking through the temple I passed the bench Danny sat on our wedding day, in his three-piece suit quietly waiting for me as he thumbed through the scriptures. I remember silently approaching in my wedding dress and giving a soft hello. The look on his face, full of admiration and love and audible “Wow” before he jumped to his feet, is something every girl deserves from her new husband on her wedding day. Each of us have those memories of blissful moments where all was right in the world etched in our minds. That moment is one of mine. Reminiscing brought on moist eyes. I wanted so much to plant myself on that bench and reverse time. To hide out in the peace of that heavenly moment for awhile.
However, time marches on and so must we.
Yes, a sweet memory you will remember forever. By the way, you were a "WOW".
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I actually got all teary reading this.

Beautiful. Can you help me find a guy like my brother who I'm not related to? :D
ReplyDeleteI remember that day well. And I'm still saying "Wow" everyday I'm with you. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Danny will take you back there soon. I had a sweet memory in the Washington DC temple a few weeks ago. I remember looking down the circular stair 34 years ago and seeing David coming up. I'd thought he'd been in a car accident and I would be a widow with 3 kids. (The brakes had gone out on our car as we arrived in DC). It was so wonderful when I saw him coming up those stairs. Hopefully, we'll get another 34 years together!
ReplyDeleteSweet!! Sounds like a nice evening! And yeah...you looked absolutely fabulous!! :)
