One Year Wedding Anniversary

Oh wow...how has it been a year?  This weekend marks our one year wedding anniversary!

One year since I became a wife...

One year since I married my best friend in this whole world...

One year since I was blessed to marry the man who makes me happiest in this world and can always bring a smile to my face...

One year full of love, growth, enjoyment, and learning to be a husband and wife to one another. 

November 6th, 2010

I feel so blessed every day when I think of our marriage and this man who is my husband - and how each day is more fulfilling because I am living my life with him by my side.  I love, respect and admire him more and more each day.  (and I really, really love being his wife in every way)

In honor of our anniversary, here are a few of my favorite (and much overdue) pictures from our wedding day:

We're off to San Antonio, Texas for a 4-day anniversary vacation... excited to celebrate us and our very special marriage!

Our Wedding Day (Photographer Blog Version)

How sweet it is...

I am anxiously awaiting our photo CDs from our photographer, Brittany Dawson.  They are in the mail and should be here soon! :)  For now though, please take a moment to view the amazing blog post Brittany posted  that documents our wedding day and several of our lovely photos.  The above photo is one of my favorites, but oh my gosh there are so many more that I will post once I have the CDs.  Can't wait :)

View her post HERE <3

The sweetest moment of my entire life - right here - captured by Brittany.  

I just.love.it.

Our Wedding Cakes

Hi everyone!!  We are back and officially, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff May!  (Legally too...I am now Rani May as I already made my way into the dreaded social security office to change it over - hooray!)  I have lots to blog about and plan on starting those posts this week!  Unfortunately I won't have wedding pictures for a couple of weeks, but I can at least post about our honeymoon. :)

I want to direct you all to our cake maker's blog.  Kimberly works out of her home and is an exceptional baker!  If you are in the Houston and surrounding area and need any baked good for a party, event, etc, please contact her - her work tastes and looks amazing and she is just the sweetest person to work with - you will not be disappointed!  And to me, why not have someone bake for your special event that personally cares about what they are baking for you and puts their true passion and time into what they are doing - homemade is the way to go, if you ask me. :)

Check out our cakes here: Seeking Sweetness

Back soon with honeymoon pictures!!!

Two Things

Jeff and I received our marriage license yesterday!  

This really makes it feel real to me, seeing our names together and knowing we're almost husband and wife!  It really made my heart happy seeing the license yesterday...just 10 more days!

Speaking of 10 days, starting this morning I began leaving Jeff notes that count down each day until our wedding.

In each note, I tell him the top 10 things I love about him. Today I left #10 in an obvious place - on our bathroom mirror.  I wanted to make sure he saw it first thing.  He was so sweet about receiving it and asked if he'd be receiving more.  Of course I tried to be coy, but I'm sure he knows he'll be getting them as each day goes by.  I do plan on being more creative with where I put them each day, that way he will find them when he least expects it. :)

Basically I just can't wait to marry my best friend and the love of my life.  Can you tell? ;)
