Our Journey Together
We met a while ago while working at Cracker Barrel. He was a line cook, and I was a waitress. We started chatting, and for a couple of years, we dated on and off. But let’s be real, we were young and just figuring things out. Eventually, I moved away, and we went our separate ways.
When I returned about a year later, we would run into each other occasionally. However, we were always dating other people, even though the attraction was still there. It was a bit of a comedy of errors, really!
The Tinder Twist
A couple of years ago, we reconnected on Tinder. It was exciting! During that time, my roommate kept trying to set me up with a cute guy she worked with. I told her I wasn’t interested because I was already talking to someone I really liked.
Guess what? The cute guy from Tinder was the same guy my roommate was trying to set me up with! I like to think it was fate that brought us back together. Now, that cute guy is going to be my husband. How amazing is that?
Wedding Planning
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but it’s also incredibly fun. Here are some of the vendors we are thrilled to work with:
Photographer: Dorian Starr Productions
Venue: Bienvenue, Powhatan VA
Hair and Makeup: Island Glow
Lashes: Lashed by Jessa
Why Choose Island Glow?
When it comes to beauty and wellness services, Island Glow is the top choice in Central Virginia. They offer a variety of services that help you feel your best and shine for any occasion. Whether you’re preparing for your wedding day or just want to pamper yourself, they have everything you need.
I can’t wait to see how they make me look on my big day! Their expertise in hair and makeup is unmatched. Plus, the atmosphere is so welcoming. You’ll feel right at home.
The Importance of Self-Care
As we approach the wedding day, it’s essential to take care of ourselves. Self-care is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Taking time to relax and recharge can make a world of difference.
Consider scheduling a spa day or a beauty treatment. It’s a great way to relieve stress and ensure you look and feel your best. After all, you deserve it!
Cherishing Every Moment
As I reflect on our journey, I realize how important it is to cherish every moment. From our first meeting at Cracker Barrel to our upcoming wedding, each step has brought us closer together.
Don’t forget to enjoy the little things along the way. Whether it’s a spontaneous date night or a quiet evening at home, these moments are what make life special.
Conclusion
In conclusion, marrying your best friend is one of the best decisions you can make. I’m grateful for every twist and turn that led us back to each other. Here’s to love, laughter, and a beautiful future together!
