Finally, thanks to my mom- you are the best and I am so greatful that you could be there to help us celebrate- don't know what I would do without you and dad.
In planning a wedding, there is a lot of stress, more than you can imagine unless you've done it before. But it's all worth it. As I stood up in front of everyone and took my vows, I couldn't help but look around to see everyone who came, all of the people who surrounded us, that supported us. I felt so lucky, not only to be marrying the love of my life, but to have so many good friends and family in our lives.
