Ugh my arms are so fat. I got to marry my favorite person So much is going wrong. Everything is perfect! “I’m nervous to walk down the aisle and say my vows in front of everyone.” There’s only him “I’m so stressed about getting everything done in time!” There are so many people offering to help us 😭 “Which napkins do I pick? Will the decor all come together well? What am I forgetting? i'm having SO much fun! “I’m so sad ______ isn’t coming.” Wow, everyone we love has showed up for us “It’s all gone by so fast 😭” but marriage is even better 🤍

If you’re in the thick of wedding season — worried about becoming your prettiest self, stressed about the tiny details, or sad if things aren’t how you envisioned them, just know none of it will actually matter on the day!! Yesterday was our second anniversary and I cannot believe how fast it has flown by. It is soooo much fun being married. People thought we were wild for waiting 7 years to get married but dang every stage of our relationship has gone by so fast. Your sign to make your relationship, wedding and marriage exactly the way you want it to be 🤍 #weddingseason #2026bride #2027bride
