wedding post - best part

It’s finally Friday, and the re-living of my wedding week is officially coming to an end… well for now at least.  But don’t worry; I have saved the most important part of planning my wedding for last.  You want to know my biggest secret? The people.  The people that stood beside me on my wedding day, the people that stood beside me the months leading up to my wedding day and the people who have always stood beside me.  They are what made my wedding day so special.  Because at the end of the day, you can take away the flowers and fancy cars; take away the 80’s music and yes, even the perfect wedding dress.  September 25, 2010 would still be my perfect day.  I married the best man I know.  He challenges me and fights for me.  And my family who has loved and sacrificed for me was there for it all.  And my friends – my sisters.  The lengths they went to in order to make me feel special, beautiful and most of all loved, was incredible.  I will forever be humbled by my experience of wedding planning.  I hope I am as good of a friend, sister and daughter as they were to me.  Thank you.  Here are a few of those special people.
