When I Say I Do - Matthew West



Logan, Kaden and Amy singing "When I Say I Do" by Matthew West at Tim and Jenna's wedding. So beautiful!


When I Say I Do - Matthew West

There must be a God, I believe its true.
Cause I can see His love, when I look at you.
And he must have a plan for this crazy life.
Because He brought you here and placed you by my side.

chorus:
And I have never been so sure of anything before,
Like I am in this momment here with you
Now for better or for worse are so much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do'
Yeah I mean what I Say when I say 'I do'

You see these hands you hold, will always hold you up
When the strength you have just aint strong enough
And what tomorrow brings, only time will tell
But I will stand by you in sickness and in health

Cause I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this momment here with you
And now 'for better or for worse'
Are so much more than only words
And I pray every day will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do'
Yeah I mean what I say when I say

Take my hand and take this ring
And know that I will always love you through anything.

And as the years march on like a beating heart
I will live these words 'til death do us part'

Cause I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this moment here with you
And now for better or for worse
Are so much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do'
Ya I mean what I say when I say 'I do'

Weddings Weddings!!

We have a ton of weddings this summer! I know of about 8 people that are getting married and we are invited to 4 of those wedding. We have already attended/been apart of two of them.
The first wedding was on June 23 for our dear friends Tim Fehr and Jenna Koop. It was such a beautiful wedding and I can't count the number of times I cried during the day! I have been extremely excited for them as they have looked so forward to this day for many years! By the time they got married they had been together for 4.5 years! Beautiful couple and beautiful wedding :) Logan, his brother Kaden and Kaden's girlfriend Amy (also Jenna's sister) sang the special music. They performed "When I Say I Do" by Matthew West and did a phenomenal job! (I will post the video later) Congrats to the new Mr and Mrs Fehr!

The second wedding we attended was of Logan's brother Davis and his new wife Danielle on June 30! I was the photographer for the wedding, and unfortunately do not have any photos edited as of yet. I hope to get a few finished tomorrow for a sneak peek ;) It was a beautiful wedding and again, we were so excited and happy for them!! Danielle has quite an awesome sense of style and everything at the wedding was just stunning! So happy for them, and they are now honeymooning in Newfoundland! Logan was Davis best man and you can read more about their wedding here and here.

The next wedding we are going to is our best friend's Brady Rideout and Renessa Hale. They are getting married August 4 and we are quite involved in that wedding! Logan is the best man and I am the matron of honor! We are so stoked for them! We have really wanted friends like Brady and Renessa and we are so thankful for their friendship! We now have the kind of friendship that when we have kids, they will be known as Uncle Brady and Aunty Renessa! I will post pics of their wedding when it comes!

The last wedding we have this summer is on September 29 for our friends Craig Donnelly and Amanda Giesbrecht. We actually have no part in the wedding, so it will be quite different to sit through an entire wedding and have nothing to do! The last time I went to a wedding and had nothing to do was about....2004. Yep...it's been awhile :) We are so excited for all of our friends/family to start this journey with their spouses! Can't wait to see what the future holds for each and every one :)

One year of sheer bliss...

We *recently* had our first year anniversary...well, recently as in about 3 weeks ago :) We had a very low key anniversary as we had just moved into our new house about 2 days prior, and my mom and dad were here helping us move/visiting. They had just went home and we really wanted to relax, so we didn't do much! We ordered pizza (straight to our door! Logan was really excited) Ate specialty chocolates and watched movies together, my favorite kind of night :)
It's hard to believe it has been a year already. I guess the saying "time flies when you're having fun" is not an exaggeration! I've learned a lot over this last year a few of them being:
1. Logan is a terrific encourager and leader
2. Logan also is a terrific procrastinator, at least when it comes to *me* getting things done!!
3. I'm not as patient and kind as I thought I was (that was a rude awakening!)
4. After a stressful day, the fastest way to feel better is to laugh. Logan's good at making me do that.
5. Always keep the house stocked with a few essentials: chocolate syrup, ice cream, milk and cheese. Oh and meat...lots of meat!
6. "couch time" is my favorite time of the day. It's where we sit down on the bed or the couch and just talk about each other's days, encourage each other and pray.
7. I'm a fantastic Halo Player, especially with Logan as my teammate ;)
8. We can't make it without God being the center. Marriage is hard.
9. I have anger issues :P
10. My love for Logan does not stop, it grows each and every day. I love him more today than I did last year (if that was possible!)

It has been the best year of my life. There is no exaggeration to that! Logan is my best friend, my supporter, my encourager and my love. Here's to the rest of our lives... :)
