Minimooning

I have had the most amazing time of my life, for this is truly the "Summer of Love" for myself and a very special person. My boyfriend of over five years and I have committed our lives to one and other, promising ourselves through a beautiful marriage ceremony. The day was picture perfect, beautiful blue clouds that can only be seen along the seacoast; a breeze that felt like cool kisses on our skin; a feeling of excitement and true happiness in the salty air.

We experienced what it is like to become two seperate individuals that have been so overcome with love and fondness for one and other that we felt that marriage was the most precious gift we could give to one and other. Yes, I am still very much on a newlywed bliss high, yet I don't want this feeling of love and pride to ever evaporate.

Following our celebration, we spent the week minimooning. In lieu of an immediate send off to an exotic island the morning after our weddng, we chose to simply play the following week by ear, not allowing anything to take the wind out of our sails. We spent a couple of nights in the town which we were celebrating, and then came home for a few nights. We had an amazing day at the beach, and decide that day to get away for a few nights.

Minimooning is so relaxed, so chill, so perfect. Planning a wedding is certainly stressful, regardless of your calm, cool intentions. I don't like to use the word "stressful," however, because it sounds so negative. We had a blast planning our special event, and although there were times we both felt as if it couldn't get here any sooner- for both the excitement of becoming husband and wife, but also to finish the planning- the whole experience is one I wish for everyone.

Our guests have since expressed how perfect the wedding was, and although I am bias of course, it truly was the best wedding I have ever witnessed. The ceremony was personal but sweet, the reception venue was taken out of a dream, and the atmosphere and energy in the night was intoxicating.

I have truly had the best time, the proverbial "time of my life." Not only did we get married and have an amazing minimoon, I had met the nicest and warmest older lady at the hotel we stayed at following our wedding. Her and I had met in the elevator the evening before our wedding, and had exchanged a few smiles and hellos. During the evening of our wedding, she presented us with a beautifully and carefully written note of congratulations. We were both intrigued with her thoughtfullness, her aura. My husband said he felt as if he met a celebritity, she was simply wonderful. The night after our wedding, we were sitting on the balcony of or suite, and I got the urge to go check the door to ensure it was locked. As I approached the door, I immediately noticed that another note had been quietly slipped through the door.

We read the note together, and found that she truly was a celebritiy.... Even though on a small scale compared to the overpaid celebrities, she was still an extraordinary person. She had enclosed with her note a little brochere of sorts that was a biography of her life. Come to find out, not only was she an active member of the community, she was a also a writer. This, I do not find, to be a coincidence. I feel as if I met her in order to energize my desires, to overcome my fears, and to just start doing something about my passion.

Instantly, I knew that I had to create this blog. It has been a dream of mine to write and be read, and hopefully, someday paid!

I hope to encounter this woman again. She is wonderful, insightful, intuitive, and amazing.
