Two years ago today, I took a luxurious bubble bath while Sissy answered the barrage of phone calls coming in. I think at one point she was on a land line, cell phone and walkie talkie simultaneously. (Thank you Sissy.)
Two years ago today, all my bridesmaids showed up on time for their hair and makeup appointments in the sitting room, while I just tried to relax.
Two years ago today, I put on my wedding dress for the first time since the last alteration, looked in the mirror and noticed it was pressed wrong; and therefore way too long.
Two years ago today, I realized there wasn't sh*t I could do about it. I would step on the dress the entire night.
Two years ago today, I went down to meet you for pictures before the ceremony, and couldn't wait for you to see me in my dress.
Two years ago today, I was laughing at the booger hanging out of our flower girl's nose. Ironically the only wedding picture that hangs in our room is the one of me wiping her face with a kleenex.
Two years ago today, we were sent back up to our rooms to get ready for the ceremony. I swished about, sat down, tried not to get my dress wrinkled, chatted with the girls, had a few sips of champagne and waited for the word to head up to the rooftop.
Two years ago today, they called us up to the roof and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe. My corset was so tight I couldn't take a full breath in, and even if I could, the dizziness and vertigo wouldn't let any air into my lungs.
Two years ago today, I was petrified of walking down the aisle. All I saw was a sea of heads, with all eyes about to be on me. I was sure I was going to faint and made that very clear to my parents and coordinator.
Two years ago today, Sissy cursed herself for not packing smelling salts in her bridal emergency kit.
Two years ago today, I insisted I see you BEFORE walking down the aisle. You were the only face that could calm me down enough to put one foot in front of the other.
Two years ago today, you came over, gave me a hug and told me we could do it. That it would be over before I knew it.
Two years ago today, I walked down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D, clutching my mom's hand in a death grip, with my eyes locked on yours. You helped me up the two steps to the alter and I took my first breath in what seemed like hours.
Two years ago today, in the middle of our wedding ceremony, I told you I thought I was going to faint. NOT knowing a microphone was in your tie and therefore the whole wedding party (and most of Los Angeles,) could hear me. That made a nice little addition to our wedding video didn't it?
Two years ago today, the Rabbi was finally done babbling and calling me Samanther, and pronounced us Husband and Wife.
Two years ago today, I was the happiest girl in the world. Not just because I could finally breathe, but because I knew I had just married the man of my dreams.
You can see it on my face.
Happy anniversary baby. I love you.
Love,
Little Bird.

Awww. That was so sweet. Happy belated anniversary!
That was the sweetest thing I ever read. You forgot to mention that on that very special day you woke up to the most delicious breakfast you could have ever asked for - a Cantina breakfast burrito brought to you from Santa Barbara by your maid of honor. Ahem! Happy anniversary! Love you!
