1 Year Ago

One year ago…

…a few friends met us in Philadelphia

…my best friends came in from different cities and states

…I got a new brother and sister-in-law

….I was reminded of how amazing my parents and sister are

…we posed for pictures everywhere

…Matt’s best friends came in from different cities and states

….my family celebrated and partied with us

….my sister and best friend since childhood gave speeches that made me cry

…..I felt beautiful

…best friends from high school and college became friends

….the room of my dreams was created

…matt wore his grandfather’s talis

….another room of my dreams was created

…I got to wear a pretty dress

….we entered a room with sparklers

….I celebrated not falling down the steps

….my gorgeous best friends shared our happiness

….we danced to Cruisin

….my dad showed off his moves

…matt twirled his mom

….we ate cake

….I couldn’t stop smiling

…Matt posed with the ladies

…I was reunited with my sorority family

…I danced with my mom

…Matt’s former band played

….he crushed the guitar solo

….I had a moment with my sister

…oh yes, and I  married my best friend.

And in case there was any doubt that Matt wasn’t the one for me, here are a couple of quotes I’d like to share:

“I don’t go to a casino to lose cupcakes!” – Matt running back to the casino to retrieve his cupcakes from my cousin’s wedding

“Maybe we should eat something light like salad for dinner so we can eat a lot of cake” – Matt referring to the top tier of our wedding cake
