Nine years of wedded bliss… AND a video.
Paul and I are on vacation this week… We’re celebrating nine years of being married.
Nine years of being amazed at how lucky I got.
Nine years of wondering if he listens to a word I say.
Nine years of Paul failing to appreciate my talent for micromanagement.
Nine years of me having 1,237,894% more to say about any given topic than Paul is actually interested in hearing.
Nine years of him promptly forgetting anything important I tell him, despite being able to recall with total clarity the entire laundry list of things I have ever done that were even remotely bothersome to him.
Nine years of being astounded at how there is nothing Paul cannot do.
Nine years of forcing him to use that power to do my bidding.
Nine years of Paul wondering if there is anything I do not have an opinion on.
Nine years of me being deeply thankful that Paul has become part of my family.
Nine years of debating which of us would be voted off of Survivor first.
(It would definitely be Paul, who wouldnāt even make it past the first hour; for yelling at everyone for building the shelter like idiots and coming to a desert island without knowing how to make fire.)
Ā Ā 
Nine years of him leaving me notes that say:
Dear Hoarder Victoria, I love youānow get your crap out of my garage.
This is us, nine years ago:

I’m a bit late to the party, but I just had to comment on this post. Your wedding dance was absolutely breath taking, and yet what really made the entire post so beautiful was your joyful and beautiful wedding dance reprise. My daughter is engaged, and plans a small wedding, but I believe this will be very inspiring to her!
Just so breathtakingly beautiful!

Happy Anniversary! I wish there was a blog of your wedding planning. I can only imagine the level of obsession over every detail. Clearly it was worth it, you had a beautiful wedding. I have no doubt Paul adores you and all your quirks.

This is, hands down, the BEST wedding video I have ever seen. All the way from my back verandah in Brisbane, Australia, congratulations xxx
