The Joys of Planning a Wedding: A Personal Reflection
As I prepare for my wedding this March, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy. We’re keeping it simple yet magical—an ethereal, backyard wedding surrounded by the beauty of nature, with flowers, fruits, and an elegant, relaxed vibe that reflects us perfectly.
Planning this wedding has been a beautiful reminder of how love connects us all. Although it is our special day, most importantly; it’s also about uniting families and friends in creating a community that celebrates the bond we share.
What makes this journey even more special is having my best friend by my side as my maid of honor. We’ve been friends since ninth grade, and although we’ve never talked specifically about our weddings, we’ve always shared the dream of finding love and being there for each other on our special days. To think that we would both be here, still friends after all this time, and that I would have her standing beside me as I marry my partner—well, it feels like something beautiful and meant to be.
My best friend and I share the same deep understanding of what love and friendship truly are. We’ve always been there for each other, supporting each other through thick and thin. It’s no surprise that she’s been my biggest supporter throughout my relationship, cheering both my partner and I on every step of the way. The way she recognizes and appreciates the complexities of my relationship with my husband means the world to me. She sees the beauty in our bond and has always been our biggest cheerleader.
This journey my partner and I are going through together, deciding to get married and taking the next step into planning has been a catalyst for personal growth, teaching me more about myself and my partner. It’s a gentle reminder of how we grow and embrace new chapters in our lives—The ever changing nature of human experiences.
Planning this wedding with my bestie will be such a joy and memorable experience. From late-night chats about wedding ideas to laughing together over the details. I can’t wait to have her by my side on our special day, sharing in the love and celebration of this next chapter in my life.
As we plan, I have come to appreciate the beautiful yet intricate dynamics of our relationships. The different ways we all experience life—the joy, the anticipation, and even the challenges we will come to face together, all reflect the beautiful complexity of human nature and connection!
I’m also so excited to finally meet her partner in person. I’ve heard so much about him and the incredible positive impact he’s had on her life. The way he’s helped her grow and become an even more wonderful person leaves a lasting impression on me. I’m truly excited to meet him and see the love and happiness they share.
Having my best friend by my side, not just as my maid of honor but as someone who has witnessed every step of my journey, makes this experience even more meaningful. It’s a reminder of how beautiful it is to have people who truly understand and support us, and how lucky I am to have her in my life. A true testament to the importance of support systems in our lives— the human need for connection and companionship.
For those who’ve had their best friend by their side during wedding planning, what’s one special memory you’ve shared together through the journey?
I would also love to hear about the moments that made your wedding planning and wedding day extra meaningful or fun!
I’ve been collecting so many beautiful ideas for the big day on my Pinterest board. Here’s a peek into my inspiration for the wedding!
Maid Of Fuckin Honor Bitches!!
This is my babe! She’s talking about me! Xoxo 🥰❤️🔐 We’ve shared such a beautiful friendship over the years, especially since the moment this stunning lady felt butterflies for her soon-to-be hubby. They’ve spent ten incredible years together, and I’ve known her even longer. It’s been a wonderful experience watching my best friend grow alongside her soulmate. Congratulations, mamas! You two are truly soulmates. For the longest time, I held the title of first place in her heart, but I’m so proud and happy to step down to second place as you both exchange your vows. This moment marks a significant milestone in your lives, solidifying his title as the champion of your heart. 🍾 I’m glad to step aside knowing that the man who takes the lead in her life cares for her deeply, just as I do. There’s no such thing as divorce in this beautiful relationship—you both made it! You found each other amidst a sea of options, proving that true love exists. How lucky you both are to have one another for the rest of your lives. Congratulations to my dear friend and my forever brother-in-law! This has been and will continue to be one of my favorite love stories I have ever known.
