"The Best Thing to Hold onto in Life is Each Other" - Audrey Hepburn
I just turned 26 and I have to say the thing that I am looking forward to most in my next year around the sun is getting married to my best friend!
Many people get stressed about planning a wedding. So far, I am the complete opposite. While there is a lot to do, I find most of it is fun! I am so excited to bring both of our families and all of our friends together for the party of our lifetime.
A little background about Jonathan and I. We met when we were 16. Yes, we are "High School Sweet Hearts" (barf). I hate cheesy things but I have to admit, we are pretty dang adorable. We moved in together shortly after high school and have been together since. We have raised an asshole dog, Phoenix, that we love more than anything. We have literally done EVERYTHING together for the past 9 years and still choose to be around each other as often as possible. It hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies, but we have grown closer and happier together after all these years. Honestly, we feel like we have been married this whole time. We have just decided to have a ceremony to celebrate our love and finally make it official. What better way to do that, than with the people we cherish most?
I am beyond ecstatic to share this moment with others. Please reach out to me if you are planning your own wedding and need advice, ideas, or just need someone to help you remain calm when things get overwhelming. The most important thing to remember is why you are having the ceremony and what it means to you and that special someone in your life.
