...all i want is a marriage more beautiful than my wedding...

Thank you ALL for the great comments you left me on this post.  Your feedback was just what I was looking for.  :)

As you may know, I married the perfect man on September 10, 2011.

Not.

But he is pretty amazing and he reminds me every single day why I fell in love with him somewhere around January~February..

Screech!

Wait, what?!  I got married to a man 9 months after we fell in love?  Oh yeah.  You can read all about it here.

Anyway...I came across this darling little "pin" and became inspired.

 It's easy to pin cute things or special words {with great intentions} and forget all about it, isn't it?!  :)  I do it all the time.  It's a bad habit.  I end up with HUGE pin-boards that ultimately leave me stressed out because I feel lie I've put too many things on my to-do list.  But this pin really got me thinking.

A marriage more beautiful than my wedding.

Our wedding was so gorgeous.  [One day I'll share all of the details with y'all.]  But what could I do to make our marriage even greater than the wedding? 

What does a beautiful marriage take?
My readers say it takes....

What do you think?  What does it take a have a marriage more beautiful than the wedding?  :)
