They zipped up the back of the dress, and she turned around just as Gram was walking in the bedroom. She couldn’t contain it, the tears, they were streaming down her face as she was surrounded by all of her best friends, her mother, and her Gram. She held out her hands, motioning to Gram what do you think, and the rest of the room started tearing up. There she was, in the dress, ready to go, ready to marry her best friend, Bill.
She got a tissue, went over to the mirror and wiped the tears, happy tears of course, and turned around. Ok she said, that’s it, that’s all the crying I’m going to do today, I just had to get it out, now stop crying people. And she was right, that was all the crying she did and the rest of the day was full of bliss and smiles. As she turned the corner with her father and made her way down the long isle at St. Mary’s in Annapolis, she beamed brighter than the sunshine outside on that windy May day. Laughing, waving, and smiling at everyone in the pews, she locked eyes with Bill and soaked in every last joyous moment. It was fate that brought them together, that or White Castle mini burgers, either way they were meant to be, high fiving and laughing the rest of their lives together.
Katie and Bill, I just wanted to thank you for letting me document your love. Your love radiates out and brightens a room, making sure fill every one of life’s moments with joy. It truly is something special, which I think all of your friends, and wonderful family can attest to. Wishing you many more years full of laughter with your best friend by your side. Love, Megan
