LOL, the picture of us in 2005 makes me laugh - we look SO young, like babies or something ;) Nick was only 19! nineteen?! That seems so long ago.
6 years ago, I went to a poker game at a friend's house and had no idea that I'd meet the man I'd marry! In 2 days, we're saying our vows and starting our lives together as one. I can't even believe it, it feels so unreal! Did it feel this surreal to you? Have any day-before wedding tips to share? :)
September 25th will mark our 5th year of dating, and the first day of the start of our marriage. I look back and overwhelmed by grace. I love thinking about our stories of how the Lord brought us together. If I decided to go to a different college (which I almost did, had my dorm room and everything!) and he decided to stay in Missouri and become a cop (which he debated about!) - we would have never met! If I had started a year earlier, we wouldn't have had the same friends. There are so many "if" factors that it is without a doubt our Lord orchestrated our story in bringing us together.
This is the last post I'll post as a 'single lady' - Next time I write I will be married to my best friend! Thanks for sharing in the whole journey with us, from our engagement story to planning the wedding, and the scary time with my mom's cancer -- your support has meant so much and I feel like I want you all there to share in it with us. Anyway, I'll be having many friends here on the blog with guest posts in the coming days. It may be a little weird to say but I love you all and thank you for being here for us and for sharing in our journey.

160 hello's:
Congratulations and have a blast at your wedding!
Congrats!! Enjoy the time leading up to the big day and don't stress about a thing.
an incredible romantic story... take care of your lovely story!
Congratulations, it must be fate! Thanks for always sharing your lovelies with us. Best of luck at the wedding.
I know that your day will be full of everything wonderful as the LORD blesses your new life as one.
Aw, yay! You're getting married this weekend! It's been so much fun reading about your story and journey along the way. I feel like I know you personally.
Getting married definitely felt surreal to me. Even now, 3 years later, I'll sometimes turn to my husband and smile with a sigh to say "Hey, we're married." :) Sometimes it just feels too good to be true!
May God greatly bless your life together!
Congratulations!!! Wish you lots of happiness together!
Danni, congratulations! I'm so excited for you. Your story has always been one that's really made me sigh because it's so beautiful. Enjoy every moment of your wedding day and all the moments of your marriage (though I've no doubt you've been treasuring your time with Nick all along).
What a lovely post! The perfect way to end your single lady blogging days. Congratulations! I can't wait to hear all about the wedding when you return as a married lady! :)
How exciting, Danni! Congratulations! May God bless you and and your marriage!
Woo! Congratulations!
Oh my! Why am I so nervous!? - I wish you the best, may all your years be a true adventure and may God bless your marriage!
XO
Hooray - lots of congrats! So very excited for you 2 & I look forward to seeing all the chic photos from the special day. My husband & I got married on our dating anniversary too - tis so great to not have to remember ANOTHER date :D
so excited for you!! Sept 25th is my husband and I's "dating anniversary," so Im double excited for you, haha!
I've been married almost 5 months now and I still wake up every morning thinking, "could this possibly be real? could I REALLY be married to by best friend?" God is so GOOD.
All my love, God bless! I can't WAIT to see pics!
Congratulations Danni!!! you deserve all the best :)
I love your story! God is so good! Cherish your day together Saturday and congratulations!!! <333
Congratulations to the both you! I love the "before" and "now" pics. Enjoy your special day together.
Congratulation to you and Nick. Wish you two the very best.
Yes it is surreal. I know the feeling. I feel the same way when I met my husband online (not an online dating service)
Those photos side by side are adorable. Poker was good to you. So exciting. Congratulations - looking forward to seeing all the images.
Yay, Danni, congrats!!! xo
How sweet! You make an adorable couple!
Yes, isn't it a little spooky that your life could have been totally different because of one choice you could have made.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Love and hugs xoxo
How special! I hope this weekend is full of many more blessings. Enjoy yourself immensely =)

Congrats! I know how you feel about "if" factors! Sometimes I thing if those if's and get scared for a second, but if its meant to be then its meant to be :D Im married for 2 years now and very happy and I wish you guys the same.
Marina.
Fortunately, there are no what-ifs with the Lord! He planned it this very way.
And yes, 10 years later it still sometimes seems surreal.
The grace continues. Marriage is such a sweet, sweet gift.
Many congratulations to you both!
It was totally surreal for me, too! Congratulations again--loving the photos. So fun to see how far you've come together.
OOOOMG YOU GUYS ARE ADORABLE! Being a new one to your blog, this is the first photo I've seen of you, and you're gorgeous, btw. And your soon-to-be-hubby is adorable! :}
Have the most perfect of days.
And sometimes I think about all the little things that could have made a big difference. Aren't you so happy that it's turning out in the most perfect of ways? Congrats.
Congratulations! Your story is so encouraging! I wish you all the best!
*Precious*
Wedding hugs sister(and brother too) in Christ!!! :)
Happy wedding weekend! May you enjoy every minute and soak up every moment!
Congratulation Danni!
I'm so happy for you two! I can feel the chill out there, yay! Can't wait to read your first married-woman post! :D

Congrats for both!
Eva
SO cute, you guys really did look like babies!!! so excited to celebrate with you on saturday!!! :]
You are so sweet! And yes, even though I've been married for six years everyday seems so surreal. SO many what ifs and I can't believe I married the man I met nine years ago. We were so different then!
Congrats! :D p.s. I love looking back at old photos like that! You two look genuinely happy then, and now :)
oh danni -- this was so sweet to read. wishing you a wonderful wedding and an even more wonderful marriage. xo
Congratulations Dani! Looking forward to the pics, I know it will be a wonderful, unique and pretty wedding.
A million hugs & congrats to you as you embark on your new journey! It is an unbelievably surreal feeling, I agree. It seems silly but I couldn't wait to share his last name. We've been married for almost 2 months and it still feels amazing when I see my new name! Have the time of your life. It goes by fast but is truly magical.
Awesome! Congratulations!
Congrats!! Enjoy the special day, and the time with all your loved ones! And, of course, enjoy the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!!
Congratulations Danni - hope you have an amazing day - can't wait to see the photos. Lynne x
You guys are adorable! I just love your blog!! I hope you have the most wonderful day, congratulations!!!!

Hi Danni:
Love being a little part of your journey to womanhood and now a married lady. Can't wait till you two return from your honeymoon trip and give you your "New Married Lady Luncheon" on Oct. 23rd.
See you on Saturday for the Big Day.
Love, AL
You are a Blessed couple! Please, just enjoy your day, keep calm and remeber to breathe and have fun all the time! I know it will be beautiful and inspiring (can't wait to see the pics! I'm already married for 6 years to my best friend too, but I still love to see wedding pictures!).
Walk down the aisle slowly, and take in the moment, it will be, with God's grace, the only time in your whole life you'll do this! And have FUN!
awww congrats Danni and Nick!!! I wish you two the best!! ^.^ ^.^
xoxo

isn't life a funny thing? i always wonder about the ifs!
all the best for your wedding and of course best wishes for a lifetime of happiness, laughter creativity and love together. can't wait to hear all about it!
May the Lord bless you richly and may you experience all the joy possible in marriage! God is good! Congratulations to you both!
Happy wedding weekend to you! Enjoy every moment. :)
This is so exciting Danni! You are going to have such a wonderful wedding! Have a ton of fun. :)
Congrats and have a wonderful wedding! :)
Oh Danni, how wonderful! You are probably anxious and excited (and sleepless...) for this coming day! Just try to relax, enjoy the moment. As for the day itself, it passes SOOOO fast. Be sure to take it all in and enjoy it and cherish it!
I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! Congratulations!
xo
How exciting! I love that you've dated a while before getting engaged, have shared many years and memories together.. that is so special and important. Happy dating anniversary, and wedding! Have fun!

I am so happy that your day is approaching and that you and your family will be celebrating such a special time! Don't forget to just relax on the day and take it all in...it goes by fast and then seems like a dream. Just live in those wonderful moments!
Enjoy! xo
Congratulations!!! I know your excitement. There's nothing like it. Today is actually my 3 year anniversary! :) You can see some photos over at my blog if you'd like - www.honizuklepress.com/hpblog. This anniversary is so special because it's our first as a family with our little 5 month old boy. :) May God bless you both and I hope you have a great time!

so exciting! can't wait to hear all about it upon your return. we all love you too and want nothing but the best for your big day. enjoy it!
I'm so glad that you can share about how the Lord has brought the two of you together. I love reading your blog. The best of wishes for your wedding!
enjoy! be sure to set aside an hour or two amidst all the fray the day before the wedding just to be alone together. do an errand, take a walk, enjoy the quiet sacred moment before the rush of wedding excitement takes hold.
what a sweet, sweet post.
i hope you have a wonderful weekend, an amazing day and that you are able to stay calm and really enjoy every moment of it!
Congratulations! I'm soo happy for you! I wish you many blessings
Congrats! You two are really meant to be. It must be with your story. :)
CONGRATS! I hope you have the most amazing day, good luck and have so much fun on your wedding day!
My advice is to just live the day. No second guessing, no worries, no buts -- just live the day because next thing you know, poof, it will be gone. The only thing better than marrying the person you love is experiencing the day with those who matter the most. Have a beautiful time and congrats!!
Congratulations!! :)
I hope you have a wonderful, memory filled day on Saturday! :)
enjoy every single minute. make sure to take a moment away with your new hubby to look out on the dance floor and see all of your friends and family having a blast at your ultimate party!
Congrats and Best Wishes!
I am 10 days away from marrying my best friend and it's feeling very surreal over here, too! :)
All the best!!
Enjoy every minute of it - got married almost 3 years ago and its such a lovely day to experience together! Have really enjoyed following your engagement/wedding plans! G
You two are so sweet! Congrats! God is truly amazing and may the Lord bless your married life!=)
Congratulations and can't wait to have you back, married and all, and sharing photos of your beautiful wedding.
Oh, Danni. How wonderfully exciting. May God grant you many, many years together in health and happiness. Blessings, Susan
congratulations! the two of you look gorgeous, then and now.
have a beautiful beautiful day :)
Yay! Congrats! God is going to bless your lovely marriage.
Best wishes for a beautiful, lovely wedding day!
I love seeing you so excited to be "Mrs Keith"...I was writing "Mrs. Griffin" the day after my wedding and eleven years later am still so happy each time I write it.
Sending so many wishes for the best wedding ever...can't wait to hear about it.
Congratulations!
Best wishes for a perfect day and a million more after that!

{and if you cry in the bathroom with your mom because of all the overwhelming emotions that might come upon you, don't worry. you're normal.}
congrats to you, future MRS!!!

My #1 day-before-the-wedding tip? If you're getting anything special done to your hair, do it the night before the wedding. It'll save you HOURS the day of!
The wedding day will go by fast, remember to relax, breathe and take time to drink it all in. Congrats!
Wishing you loads of good fortune for your future together! Enjoy the day and the years to come.
Yah! You guys are getting married!! Have a wonderful time. I cant wait to see your wedding photos. I am sure they will be sooo dreamy!

Hi danni!
First off, CONGRATULATIONS on your marriage!! I came across your blog today and so sad that I missed out all this time!!!!!!!!! It's probably going to take me a while to go through each post but I'll definitely catch up soon. :) I noticed some familiar faces & photos (the drinks station from your wedding inspiration board was styled by moi! :) and I also know Linda & Esther too!
Just want to let you know that you're SOOO talented and I'll be sure to bookmark your site!
-Esther (My Bride Story)
p.s have a blast on your honeymoon!
Congrats to you guys!! I still remembe reading ur engagement story:) So sweet! Love the pic in '05:D Have a wonderful time at the wedding! Wish you all the best, Danni!

Congratulations to both of you! :)
Let the little things slide and soak up every moment. My advice for the coming days is to continue to date. Passion follows focus, and while you'll be a honeymooner, sometimes mundane things get in the way of quality time together. Don't let it happen!
I hope the wedding was amazing!!!!
just enjoy your day...no matter what happens, because it goes by fast. congrats and may you live a long happy life together.
Congratulations! The same thing happened with me. If just one of the many details changed, my boyfriend (soon to be fiance once family matters get sorted) and I would have missed each other. It started in college, too; we went to the same college for just one semester, and were from different cities, and even different countries!
But enough about me, CONGRATULATIONS. I pray you two all the happiness in the world! Enjoy the married life and I can't wait to hear you blog about it!
Which reminds me, great blog!
With love,
Amy
Congrats on your marriage! much love to you and your new husband!
Enjoy married life, Danni. I will join with everyone else and say congratulations!
All the best to your mum, too. I really hope everything works out with her and her health.

Congratulations!!! I hope you really had a wonderful day!!! Enjoy your "new" life!!
