We all spend years trying to figure out why our past relationships fail. We blame ourselves, we blame our significant others, we blame timing, we blame our parents, we blame our age.. When I met my wife, it became clear that the world had been telling me to keep searching... Then I found her
I AM @theessential
The entire day of your wedding you spend nervously anticipating the moment you walk down the isle. I knew that my wife to be was going to come through those doors- looking more beautiful than ever...
I took my last swig of sparkling wine as I was dragged out of the dressing room and placed in front of hundreds of people to poor my heart and soul out to the woman of my dreams...
I stood up there, legs quivering, hands shaking...
Heart racing..
Then she walked out... I was at peace.
The Most Beautiful Wedding Film You Have Ever Seen!
Featuring: Zach and Jenna Nickles
This is a brief look into the most beautiful moment of my life...
On September 4th, 2016 I knelt down in the middle of a river bed to ask my wife to marry me.
October 27th, 2017 was the day that I became the happiest man alive. It was the day that I married the woman who was, is and always will be, the love of my life.
I met my wife just a couple years ago now. It didn't take long for both of us to realize that we were about to spend the rest of our lives together. She was the first person to make me understand why things hadn't worked out with anyone else before her.
We all spend years trying to figure out why our past relationships fail. We blame ourselves, we blame our significant others, we blame timing, we blame our parents, we blame our age..When I met my wife, it became clear that the world had been telling me to keep searching... Then I found her.
She saw me the way I needed to be seen, loved me how I needed to be loved and had the patience to appreciate my faults.
All of my faults...
Now I get to go to bed beside her and kiss her on the forehead as I leave for work. Everyday I am thankful for this.
My wife had a son at 16 years old. The father and her didn't work out as many young relationships don't. That was okay because she blessed me with a beautiful son. He may not have been mine biologically, be the love I felt in my heart was certainly just as strong. I got two for the price of one...
Check out 6:39 to see his dance moves! (funniest thing you have ever seen)
I am 25 years old. I am father, and a husband. This is the life I was given and the life that I chose. I was lucky enough to be served happiness on a silver platter.
I may still have many goals to accomplish and plenty of soul searching to do before my time is up. What I do know is that- regardless of how tough things get I am not alone. I have my wife and my son..and our life ahead.
This video is a 7 minute montage that captures the essence of our wedding. My wife's cousin, Levi Turner was the Director/Cinematographer/Editor. I cannot thank him enough for the hard work and dedication he put into this film. His work is absolutely amazing- I would even say flawless. He has a very accomplished career in cinematography. We were lucky that he was able to be a part of the most important day of our lives.

I like that type kiss 😘😘😘 haha really so sexy and lovely
Haha lots of emotion at that moment for sure...
wow.. So touching and impressive. What a lovely wedding it was. Thanks for sharing @theessential
Thank you so much! It was my wife that made the wedding so beautiful ;)
wow. That's awesome.
I've been dumped by a guy who is 4 years younger than me a day before my birthday. I'm 32 and I felt like he couldn't date me any longer because he didn't want to think about having a serious relationship. But reading your post, I was surprised that you are only 25 yr old but yet so mature and appreciative of the love and relationship you have with your wife. I will keep on searching. Thank you for a heart-warming post.
Certainly there are people who want different things... it’s sad the we have to sometimes find out the hard way. I think unfortunately that people don’t know what they want until they are in a relationship and decide that they are ready for commitment.
I’m sure this guy was foolish...as most of us are.
I’m luckily enough to have the brain to recognize that I found a woman that I will enjoy spending the rest of my life with. That was my bottom line.
Men often think they need options- which is usually fueled by sex. Maybe it’s just how we are programmed.
Those of us that cannot recognize that multiple sexual partners doesn’t equal happiness- are doomed to a life of solidarity. The “covenant” of marriage or even a strong relationship is more special than anything one could experience.
I wish you the absolute best. Btw I’ve not mentioned it yet but my wife was just approved on Steemit. She hasn’t posted yet but her handle is @jkat if you wanna keep a look out for her :)
Wow bro that was very touching, and so beautifully done, and the settin is almost dream like.
My wedding with my wife was 4 years ago , and we didn't have money , no one was invited, just my wife and me, no one else was needed :)
Very soon when I am rich, I will give her the wedding that she always wanted , and I want it as beautiful as yours my buddy @theessential that's truly inspiring :)
I wish you and your loved ones, all the best !
Nice touch with the red shoes !
Ed - I hope you get the opportunity to have everything you desire my friend. This wedding was THE MOST proud moment of my life. It has carried into our marriage...
I would have been just as happy to marry her under the stars with no one around but there was certainly something special about being there with so many people I loved and cherished.
Thanks for the kind words brother.
"I would have been just as happy to marry her under the stars with no one around but there was certainly something special about being there with so many people I loved and cherished."
I know exactly how you feel , and It is just inspiring to me to see that you fulfilled you dream day, we can see that all your friends and family count so much for you and it's a whole bunch of awesome chaps!
Especially after everything that you wrote lately, the hard times , the moments of doubts, it just so amazing to see joy
My friends and family really made the day special. Everybody was so happy and having a good time...
Life has definitely had its ups and downs as of late.
Luckily I have a great family at home and I love my day job as a Nurse- caring for a medically fragile boy full time. I remind myself of the wonderful opurtunites I have been given and the amazing wife I get to come home to.
Money will come eventually- the hard times will fade I’m sure. Hell, I’m only 25- so there’s plenty of time to figure things out.
I look forward to what life brings..
Jeez i was about to say "sooo young" then I realized I got married at 27 which is just 2 years later hahah .
I am really looking forward to your writings, you have your own style and i am an avid fan of yours now. I want to say I am eager to read part 3 , and many other of your stories, even fictional ones I wouldn't mind
I write a lot how I talk - I think my writing reflects my personality pretty well...
It’s great to know that there’s someone looking forward to reading my posts. Part 3 should be done soon!!
Yeah the last time I enjoyed reading like this was few years ago so you go me interested again in litterature. And it doesn't feel like "writings" it's difficult to explain
Oh and yeah my wife is 22 so she’s the young one haha!
Ed! if we ever come to SA my girlfriend is a high-end wedding videographer. 6 months ago we spent 3 months in Orange County and she shot 25 weddings! The "fanciest" one was the one from Guy Oseary (Manager Madonna, U2 etc.) in Rio De Janeiro and I will tell her to shoot your wedding! :)

Excellent👍. This is the definition of true love, though am not married but got to know what it takes to have the love of your in your life at the right/set time from here. You were so lucky to have the best lady as a wife and lucky to have you too. Definitely, your son is enjoying perfect parenthood! I giggled on reading ...I stood up there, legs quivering, hands shaking.A moment of true love expression, filled with fear and hopes that things would work out for good which finally surfaced and now the lady your legs quivered and hand shook for is now yours and shall forever be! . Without doubt @theessential's family is living fine and one of the best family in existence. Keep loving & my regards to the family! 💖
