The Most Exciting Thing


When people ask about our engagement story, it usually leads to details about our wedding and honeymoon. Especially, when they find out we are heading to Paris...they usually respond to something like "Oh that must be the most exciting part!". I smile politely and agree that it is amazing, and more than anything that I ever dreamed of...but it's not the most exciting party.

The most exciting thing is that on April 25th (just 54 days away) I will marry the only man that I have ever trusted enough to confide my secrets, to share my dreams, and to love with all my heart. When I walk back down the aisle as Mrs. Pedersen, that with be the most precious and humbling thing in the world. Perhaps I will never understand why he chose me to become his wife...but that's okay. Knowing that he loves me, that he cares, protects, and provides is enough to know, I just can't stand to live without him.

The most exciting thing in the world is simply knowing that I will marry my best friend.



"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

This is so sweet! That's exactly how I felt when I married Sean. I love that you felt inspired to write about this. I also love your book choices in your profile. I loved Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. I'm glad you found my little blournal and that I in turn found yours! -e

I love this post!!!! Oh I'm a sap and love all the quotes too!

Before passing away, my grandma gave me a collectible with the saying "Happiness is being married to your best friend." I cherish it and keep it by my night stand.


And WOW April is coming up SOOO soon for you guys! I can't wait to hear all about it in the upcoming weeks!

So sweet! I can't wait to one day marry my best friend :)

I used to want the dream wedding. The dream dress. The dream ring. Now I've realized that none of that matters because I've got my dream man!
