With all the hustle and bustle of wedding season, back-to-school, kids’ sports, summer shenanigans, and just life in general, I didn’t want this season to pass without taking a moment to acknowledge something, or rather, someone, incredibly important to me. 🤍
On August 26th, my husband and I celebrated three years of marriage, and as I get ready to celebrate three years of Simply Blissful Events + Planning this September, I can’t help but reflect on how intertwined those two things really are.
Because the truth is, he is the reason I fell in love with weddings in the first place.
Anyone who has worked with me for any length of time has heard me talk about my husband. He’s my high school sweetheart. We met when we were just 16 and 17 years old, and over the last 13.5 years, we’ve grown up together, built a family together, welcomed our two incredible kiddos, created a home on our little piece of land, and somehow built this really beautiful life that teenage us never could have fully imagined.
Planning our own wedding is what sparked something in me. I fell in love with the details, the logistics, the emotion, the way a wedding day brings together all of the people and pieces of a couple’s story. Without marrying him, I genuinely don’t know that this beautiful business would exist.
And after spending the last few years watching so many couples say “I do,” there’s one thing I hope every one of them remembers long after the flowers are gone and the photos are framed:
Marriage isn’t about getting it perfect.
It’s choosing each other over and over again.
It’s communicating even when it would be easier to shut down. It’s learning how to listen instead of simply waiting for your turn to speak. It’s giving grace, growing together, working through the hard seasons, celebrating the beautiful ones, and remembering that the two of you are on the same team.
Love changes as you grow, and life will throw seasons at you that neither of you saw coming. Keep talking. Keep listening. Keep laughing. Keep dating each other. Keep fighting for the life you’re building together.
I feel incredibly lucky to be his wife, and so thankful for our marriage, our family, our home, and everything we’ve built together. I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us. 🤍
And to every past, present, and future Simply Blissful couple- thank you.
Thank you for trusting me with such an important chapter of your story. Thank you for allowing me into your families, your planning process, your nerves, your excitement, your happy tears, and ultimately one of the biggest days of your lives. Whether my role has been big or small, it is never something I take lightly.
Three years of marriage.
Almost three years of Simply Blissful.
And so many exciting things still to come. ✨
Here’s to love, marriage, growing together, and all of the beautiful celebrations ahead.
And to the man who unknowingly started all of this… thank you for being my why. 🤍
I love you, honey💛🍯
