Bring you Ellie’s wedding graduate post. Ellie writes at Wedding For Two and has been stressing on Twitter for months about not having quite the right thing to say, and about how she didn’t feel married after her wedding, and about how life has been hard lately, and that’s tough as a newlywed. But we recently we had a conversation about how your wedding graduate post should just be a letter to your pre-wedding self, and suddenly she had it in the bag. I thought I knew what getting married and having a wedding was all about. I read all those blog posts that reminded me that the most important part of our wedding was that we got married.

When I am with you, we stay up all night. Love by Roy Croft I love you Not only for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you.
