Brittany Hersh

Two Best Friends.

Don't marry the one you can live with. Marry the one you can't live without.

We met in August of 2019, I always knew there was something special about Tyler. First time I saw him, I called my grandmother and told her about how I had just met the most beautiful man. He even had the privilege to meet her and she absolutely adored him. We went on a few dates but things did not work out at that time...Right person wrong time. We were good friends though. I would come over for fires and get togethers, random movie nights and fight nights, beach trips and hiking trips. Not sure what caused this man to want to marry me, maybe it was because I was over almost everyday, or maybe it was because I put myself into his daily life... cooking dinner, decorating for the holidays. I always said that "A man had to be crazy enough to put a ring on my finger".. we match each others crazy. The bond between him and Kellin was another reason I fell for this man, he was there for him always, the love he showed us was unconditional which was something I was unfamiliar with. This man was there for me through some of the saddest and hardest times in my life, he is my rock, my best friend. I always said if I were to ever get married it would be to him, it blows my mind that that is exactly what is happening. He is strong, intelligent, a bit argumentative at times, stubborn, compassionate, and overall perfect to me. My dad always told me "Your imperfections are what made you perfect". I believe this man is perfect for me. The good, the bad, the ugly...he has been there and I am beyond lucky to be marrying him. Just two best friends becoming one, the love I have for him is unconditional. ~Britt When I first met Brittany, I knew there was something special about her. She was beautiful, very headstrong, honest, and for some reason always put others before herself. she was perfect in every way to me, imperfections and all. looking back, I cant help but call myself out. I genuinely believed I wasn't enough... that I wasn't in any position to claim and angel such as her for myself. I built walls and even lied to myself at times that things couldn't possibly work. But the more time we spent together, the closer we became. The more I tried to hide my feelings, the more this girl broke down my walls and showed me true happiness... Must be that Hersh stubbornness I keep hearing about. I got to meet her grandmother, and man did she put me in my place. I'll miss her, and that smack to the back of the head. Kellin, although he may not be my blood, I cant help but say "he's my boy". I feel at times, he teaches me just as much as I try to teach him. Uncle Bob, and him welcoming me immediately, bonding over his race car lol. So new years day of 2024, I couldn't take it, and made my decision. my fears withered away, and my heart screamed to me about how much Brittany and her family meant to me. She is and will always be the one woman for me. it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. the amazing nights we spend, drinking wine and talking about the future. The last minute hikes, where we spent every waking second finding time to spend at a family. the slight arguments, where we sit and discuss our feelings and how we could better ourselves for each other. I wouldn't give up any of it, because I get to do it with her. ~Tyler
