I want to thank you all so much for coming to the wedding. I don't think I've ever been so happy and felt more loved in my entire life. It feels like one chapter of my life is closed and another one opened, one filled with excitement and new experiences, one I get to spend with the most amazing man I have ever met.
Standing at the altar, facing Josh, Michelle on one side of me and Doug on the other side of Josh, looking out into the people and seeing some of my oldest friends and some of my new, my family and his, is something I will never be able to forget. Most women just have their father walk them down the aisle, but I had my mother and father because she has had just as much of an impact on me as he has and she's done so much for me that I didn't think it fair for her to be left out. My brother was in the front row with his family, along with my sister and her boyfriend. It meant so much to have them all there.
And then there's the rest of the guests, lmao. Most people split up the guests depending on who is a friend of the bride and who is a friend of the groom. Some of our friends did do that, the Felicity gang, for one, sat on my side, and his personal friends on his. But there are so many friends that we both share, there really wasn't a bride's side and a groom's side. Kristin was there, with Rachel and Amanda, Dan sort of clinging to them since we stole his husband. Britney and Christina, JC and Justin, faces from my youth that have seen me experience practically everything. Chris and Lance, two people that I couldn't imagine ever being without. Kate, John, Rachael, and Clay, which meant a lot considering our past and all the crap we've been through. Having him there to support us, to support my new love, meant so much. There were so many others, Avril who made it all the way from Taiwan just to attend, Josh Henderson and Kenny Vasoli, whom without them how could I have had a fun reception, really? And even though I don't hear from them much anymore, Anne and Mandy still returned to go to the wedding. There were so many others too, but I can't sit here and name them all. Friends came that brought guests I'd never even met, but that was okay because the more the merrier!
I want you all to help me in this new journey. I know there are going to be bumps along the way and I know a lot of you know how easily overwhelmed I can get. Here it goes, the first year of being married. It's going to be wonderful, confusing, exciting, and so many other things because he is all of those things. And I love him. And I love all of you.
