This weekend I had the chance to attend the wedding of one of my best friends. While most single people I know would agree, attending weddings can be painful, this one was magical. From the ceremony and throughout the evening, I could not have felt more drunken on the overwhelming sense of sureness at this union. The beautiful bride locked eyes with her groom through her vows. Her words were strong and certain. There isn’t a chance the room questioned for even a second that this couple wasn’t meant for each other, that this marriage wouldn’t last.
Too often we see couple split and one by one friends and family reveal they knew “it wasn’t right.” We painfully, and dutifully attend those weddings. Pulling on our best supportive masks and giving our love and support to the union.
This occasion, my whole heart smiled. Right before my eyes, a fairytale played out. Not one without challenge or struggle. One that took courage to fight the early uncertainty. But one that only grew stronger on the foundation of two beautiful souls coming together. While often a single person sits and feels sorry they aren’t experiencing the same, this day gave me hope and a reminder of exactly what I’m looking for, and the belief that it will happen for me as well!
Fairytales do come true… first, you have to believe, be patient, and follow your heart. Never settle <3
