In the past couple years my dh and I have been talking about renewing our vows for our 10 yr anniversary, our anniversary was this past March but I sort of held off till I met my goal weight.
Well my dh has been saying that he feels like he has fallen in love with me all over again. This isn't only physical but also emotional. We've grown closer to each other as the years go on. Losing the weight has only been a plus.
Today we took our kids to the Zoo, it was warm enough for me to wear shorts which was great from the past months wearing jeans and sweatshirts. My dh stopped me and told me that he was checking me out the whole time. I was this size when we first got married but then gained all the weight gradually through the years so it's been years since he's seen me like this.
Today he told me that he wanted to marry me all over again...an actual wedding. I told him that even though we were married in a tiny Vegas chapel many years ago, I don't regret it at all because we had all our family present...crammed in that chapel. And plus we live here in TX all by ourselves, we wouldn't have any family to invite so I'd be happy with a small candle lit wedding at our church. I love that he wants to do this.
So even though I had my mind set that I was losing this weight for me and no one else cause hey, it was me that got me in this mess so it will be me to bring me out of it. This actually brought my dh and I closer then we ever have been before.
Losing weight with my wife was just one of many things that have brought us closer. It's honestly so wonderful and glowy to have that feeling of looking at someone and feeling like you're falling in love all over again, even after however many years (just past ten for us).
Thank you everyone!! I'm excited cause it looks like we're gonna do it. He keeps telling me that he wants to make me happy by giving me the dream wedding I always wanted, which is an outdoor wedding. He wants me to have the wedding dress I always wanted too. He better be happy I'm simple and not a pricey girl. LOL
