Why Weddings

When I was around the age of 11, I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. I said yes and therefore attended dress appointments, dress fittings, the bridal shower, and everything that came with it. At such a young age I experienced everything that goes into a wedding and fell completely in love with it. I am sure you are all thinking that this sounds a little "27 Dresses," but it's true. I saw how gorgeous my cousin looked and just how in love she was, and when she walked down the aisle, I knew it was something I was interested in.
A couple years down the road, I found the show, "Say Yes To The Dress" and I binge watched it. I am pretty sure I've seen every episode and cried from at least 80% of them. Therefore, no matter how many tears are shed, Bride Fridays became my new favorite day. Then shows like, "Four Weddings" and the bridesmaid version of "Say Yes To The Dress" were created and although they weren't completely amazing, I tuned in every week, which only grew my love for weddings more.
When I was nearing (High School) graduation, everyone started asking me what I wanted to major in in college. That question seemed simple to me; I wanted to own my own Bridal store and sell all my favorite designers dresses, so business it was. Well, a semester in, I decided I was going to switch my major to Communication because I --sadly but truthfully-- wanted to focus on the dance team and worry less about school. With my mind still on my Bridal store, I graduated with a BA in Communication and a minor in Family and Human Development.
Now, a couple months past graduation, I have been planning my best friends wedding, and I absolutely fell in love with planning. I realized that I do not just love wedding dresses, but every aspect of a wedding. So I thought why not plan people's weddings so I could be apart of their whole journey?
Side note: I absolutely love love. I have always been a hopeless romantic and believe there is truly someone for everyone. Someone that will love them unconditionally and treat them like they are everything. I really think that side of me will always be a reason I love weddings, aside from the glitz and glam of them. Getting to experience and plan someones special day, a day that they'll never forget, is something so unbelievably amazing and I feel so lucky to do so.
