Mr. and Mrs.

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Kaleb Wilson


These exact words were said a week ago as Kaleb and I became husband and wife in the presence of God, our families, and friends. It was honestly the most enchanting day of my entire life. It was a day filled with more mixed emotion than I had ever experienced in one day. Not only was I marrying my best friend, I was having the wedding of my dreams, and was being given away by the man that will always be my first love. 

I remember standing in the church parlor trying to catch my breathe as I patiently waited with my daddy by my side to walk down the aisle to the man that would give me the moon if he could. Tears swelled in my eyes knowing that this would be the last walk I would take as a Heronimus, and the next strides I would took would be as a Wilson. I longed to be a Wilson, but my heart broke to give up a name that will always mean the world to me. The music began, and the butterflies filled my stomach. I took one last look at my daddy with tears in his eyes, and we started the most important walk of my life. 

This was the face I saw while walking towards the love of my life. I felt as though I was floating to him, I can honestly say that I do not remember much after this face. It was as though I was lost in a love filled daze. This man here, worked so incredible hard to stand and walk, not for himself but for me. He knew that my heart desired a "normal" wedding and he fought so hard for it! He gave me the world that day, just by standing there. His tears were tears of love, love for me! That feeling alone still brings tears to my eyes. To know he so deeply loves me, he loves me enough for giant tears to come down his face, he loves me and that is all that matters. 

The moments following were perfect! The sermon was not only about marriage, but miracles, and sacrifice. All are things that we have experienced, and were so excited to share with our friends. Our vows, I can't even describe the feeling I felt when exchanging our vows! We have been through so much, and we know that this isn't it, but when we said FOR BETTER OF FOR WORSE, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH. My heart sang with joy, knowing that this is what God has planned for us and I was committing myself to him forever!  I am his, and he is mine. The unity, the music, the prayers, and the blessing that all went into it were so perfect! I can't imagine a more perfect day with my best friends, while marrying my best friend! 

The first dance...
I am sure there wasn't a dry eye in that room, including ours! He gave me a moment that I so desperately wanted, and yet had tried to come to terms with not having. He spun me around and made me feel like I was a princess, and I am, I am his princess! I still cry when I watch the video of us dancing together while standing. It was enchanting, magical, and a blessing from our God. 


Father & Daughter Dance...

More tears! I had looked forward to this dance since I was five. We knew what song we were going to dance to, and we knew how to flow together. It was a moment that I couldn't wait to share with my daddy, and I will forever cherish it so so close to my heart! It was as though I was a little girl dancing around on my daddy's feet, but we were dancing the most important dance we could share together. 
This man has loved me more than I can ever imagine, even when I'm sure I made it very very hard! He is my first love, and I will ALWAYS be my daddy's little girl! 

She is My Best Friend... 
This day was a day that I had imagined since I was a very little girl! I had been a bride for countless Halloweens, and was in love with Disney love stories. I was a hopeless romantic from the beginning, but I had learned from the best! My momma taught me to love, she taught me love the Lord with all my heart, to love myself before I ever loved a man, and to love with passion and purpose when the time came to marry. She has defended me when it felt like the entire world was against me, and she would do it again in a heartbeat. She has been my rock, and my shoulder to cry on. And though my daddy was who gave me away, I knew she was sitting right there in the audience longing to hold on but knowing she had to let go. 

It Was a Fairytale... 
but it didn't end at midnight. It was the beginning of our happily ever after!

Now just wait until I get all of our photos, fair warning this will not be the only blog reflecting over our wedding. I am extremely attached!!!

My Love, 
Brittany Marie Wilson

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
