Husband home from Iraq and dream wedding on the beach at sunset.

02-15-2009 05:40 PM

My husband got back from Iraq in April of 2007. I was not able to see him until July 2007. He ask me to marry him as soon as he saw me. I told him that I would then I found out that he really had been planning this for a while. While he was in Iraq, he was saving his money for our wedding and he had some jewelry custom made for me. I married him at the court house in September but that was not the wedding that I really wanted. He immediately started to ask the Navy when he could get some time off so that he could go to Florida for the perfect wedding. He was not able to get off until the week of Valentines 2008. By that time I was 3 months pregnant and having a high risk pregnancy. He knew that I could not do the planning because I was too sick so he took care of every detail. He booked the Beach. He had a isle plowed in a heart and got all my family there for the wedding. He also got the perfect flowers and dress. It was perfect. The wedding began at sunset. The weather was great. Somehow I was even feeling good that day. My husband really is the best husband in the world. I would have been happy just being married to him and him being home from the war but that was not good enough for him. He created my dream wedding also. I am so lucky.
