Today I am going to share a vintage vibe vignette I created for our bedroom dresser. I am sentimental and I love holding on to things that make me happy, smile, or something that brings back a memory... I am a sucker for a good story and will listen for hours to others retell stories from their past. I believe your home should be a reflection of you... who you are, who you were in the past, and where you are heading... I especially love homes where bits of family are swirling around...
The day we got married, Mr. Vintage had two dozen roses waiting for me at the church, a brunch spread out, and a letter waiting for me when I got there. I adored the fact that he went to all of the trouble to do this for me. I wasn't hungry, I was nervous and could not eat a thing. I teared up when I read his letter... I thought it was very sweet and charming that he would take the time to add such a personal touch to our day.
You see, the day started with slick roads... I almost ran off the side of the road when I went to get my hair done. He went outside to get his surprise set up for me while I was getting made up and found he had a flat tire... he did not have time to change it since he was more worried about getting to the church before me. He had his cousin pick him up and set up the bridal room for me.... it began to rain after it had snowed the night before... I was worried my hair would be a mess... my sister was sick with some sort of stomach virus and did not tell me because she was my Maid of Honor and was afraid she would ruin our day... but you know after all of these things that kept popping up before our wedding, the day was still beautiful... we still got married, had our reception... and nearly eight years later are still together...
The point of this story is, I kept the flowers he had waiting for me at the church, I removed all of the stems from the roses and placed them in this covered vase to keep. They have long since dried out, but they still keep their shape and color, are everlasting like our marriage.
