In her words:
I have always been the type who loved to plan events. In college, I even completed an internship with an event planning company, so I know how quickly things can become expensive. Because of that, I never thought I would be able to have the type of wedding I've always dreamed about- the kind more beautiful than what you see on tv or in the movies. But I was wrong. The love and support we received from friends and family, especially our parents, became overwhelming. Close family friends, the Bodies, were the first to bless us with an awesome gift- our gorgeous cake! Shortly afterwards, our former florist friend Amber reached out and told us that she would love to put together all of our floral arrangements. Things just seemed to fall into place, and before I could realize it, we had planned a wedding more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. What makes me happier than anything is that I get to marry my best friend; however, being able to celebrate in style with the people that we love is a close second!
