seven months of laughter

 today, I have been married for seven months.

when I first got my wedding photos back, I wasn't crazy about this one. 

we both have squinty-eye wrinkles. my nose is just... weird.

and my hair is half frizz half hairspray trying to combat frizz.

but now I get it. this is the real us.

imperfect. awkward. laughing our asses off.

I don't know what was happening at the time of this photo.

not because the day was such a blur I don't remember anything...

but because this is how we were the entire time: laughing.

there's a plethora of quotes out there that all basically say this:

the most important quality in someone that you love, is that they make you laugh.

I can tell you from my experience, it's true.
