Bride
Hi it’s me the Bride. Welcome to our live story. I’m not sure what there is really to say about me. If you know me you know I’m obsessed with Disney and Harry Potter. I’ve been looking for my Epic love story and I finally got it. I get to live out my Disney princess moment in front of you all. I get to say I do to my Prince Charming. One of my favorite lines in Harry potter is “After all this time?” “Always” if you seen the movies then you know how big of a moment that was and that line resonated with me because after 14 years together aka after all this time I’m still madly in love with Anthony and I fall more in love with every day that passes aka Always . I just want to say thank you to my family and friends for always being there for me and having my back. I want to say thank you to Anthony’s family and friends for welcoming me and my daughter into your lives and loving us both whole heartedly. You always made us feel welcome and when we brought Nathan into this world it only made our bonds stronger. I can’t wait to see you all at the wedding.
Groom
Meet the love of my life. He’s my other half and I’d be lost without him. I love the life and family we have built. We waited a long time for this day. *cough cough* In the 14 years I’ve been with Anthony I’ve come to learn he does things in his own timeline and even though he stresses me out I can say he always gets it done and it always comes out beautifully. So I’m not surprised that it took us this long to say I Do and I know that our wedding day will be more beautiful than I can possibly imagine. Thank you babe for helping me raise our daughter and then for completing our little family by giving me our son. I can’t wait to say I do and drive you nuts for the rest of our Days. “ After all this time?” “ALWAYS”
Matron of Honor
I have known Chris since we were 1 years old and sharing a crib. My first best friend. Blood couldn’t make us any closer. I have gone through every stage of life with her. She’s seen me at my lowest of lows and highest of highs. She’s been there for every monumental moment in my life and it seems only right that she would be there for the next one. The day I become a wife . The day I get my Always and Forever. I truly couldn’t say I do if she was not standing with me. I’m beyond blessed to call Chris my sister and have her apart of my world. Till the wheels fall off and then some.
Maid of Honor
I’ve known Tilly since we were 7 years old my ride or die. My sister and I can’t imagine getting married and not having her next to me. This love story wouldn’t even be happing if it wasn’t for Tilly. Tilly introduced me to Anthony. I still remember her pulling me aside and saying “ok girl there’s someone here I just know you’re going to like” and her pointing Anthony out to me. She’s knows all my secrets and has seen me and Anthony go through it all. She’s been our cheerleader rooting us on just wanting us to both have our Happy ending. Come our wedding day she will be right by my side watching the next part of our Always. I love you sis thank you for putting the man of my dreams in my life.
Bridesmaid
I met Kym through Christina she was her bestie. We were just teenagers when we met and our love for Christina has bonded us on a whole other level. Over time she went from just Christina’s best friend to one of my best friends. She’s been there from the start of mine and Anthony’s love story and big moments throughout our relationship aka the birth of our son. She’s watched my daughter grow up right in front of her eyes and we have gotten so close over the decade of knowing each other. It’s been a true honor getting to call Kym my friend and there was no way I was starting this next adventure without her standing by my side. Love you girl.
Bridesmaid
Kelsea is my brother’s other half and I’m so blessed to have her in my life and to call her a friend. She came into my life and it was like a missing puzzle piece she just fit right in. Even better she’s like the other half of my Brain we are definitely on the same wave length driving my brother nuts when we team up. I love you girl and I can’t even begin to think of getting married without you by my side.
Bridesmaid
Lilly is my baby girl, my first born and the one who made me a mommy. I can’t imagine getting married and not having her stand next to me. Anthony came into her life when she was only 2 and he just stepped into that father role from day one. It’s only right that the day we say “ I Do” she’s there front and center. She’s my heart and soul walking around on this earth and I’m so blessed to have her standing next to me as we start this next adventure.
Bridesmaid
Kris is my soon to be sister in law but let’s be honest she’s been my sister since day one. I absolutely love her and I’m honored to have her standing up there with me as I say “I Do” and join her family.
Bridesmaid
Nae is my baby cousin one of my best friends and basically my little sister. We are so close and I couldn’t imagine getting married and her not standing next to me the day I say I do. I feel like Nae has been waiting for this day just as bad as I have. Nae is more than my baby cousin I can’t even explain the bond we have. There is never a moment where we are not laughing so hard we are crying. I can be my genuine self when I’m with her and vise versa. I love you Nae thank you for always being by my side. It seems only right that your by my side one more time.

Groomsman
Mikey is my baby brother my best friend since the day he was born. The bond Mike and Anthony have they worked hard for and to see the bond they have warms my heart. My little brother and I are 4 and 1/2 years apart but to be honest you would think we were twins only I’m clearly be better looking one. I say you would think we were twins not because of the fact that we look alike but because we can talk to each other without actually talking. We sometimes share a brain. I’ll never forget when I was pregnant with my daughter I only had my family to lean on and my brother truly stepped up and was my rock. He and I were so close he even got sympathy pains so if I was craving some type of food so was he. When I was having my contractions he was having back pain too. He stayed up all night with me before I went into labor to have my daughter and just kept me distracted by making me laugh and watching our favorite type of movies aka Disney and horror or Harry Potter. We drive each other nuts but we will be the first one there if needed. He is the definition of my ride or die. Thank you Mikey for everything truly.
Groomsman
Drew is Anthony’s best friend and he’s been there since day one of our love story. Drew is the type of friend everyone wishes they had. He is someone who truly shows up. He welcomed me into the friend group and has always been there when Anthony has needed him. He is the purest of souls and just an all around great person and it seems only right that he is up there with Anthony for next big moment.

My mommy who I love and adore. My best friend and role model. My mom is one of greats. She is the reason I’m here and I get to say I Do. She is a huge part of the woman and mother I am today and I owe her every thing and more. Thank you mom for everything you have done for me and my little family. No matter what I go through in life I know if I have you by my side there is nothing I can’t handle. I still have so much to learn I don’t think there will ever be a day I won’t need you. Also I want you to know no matter how old I get or where I go I’ll always be your baby girl. My dream wedding is coming to life and I know a lot of it will be because of you. Whether it’s you driving me around to get all the decorations or helping me with the DIYs or just listening to me talk for hours about my wedding day And all my crazy plans. I love you mommy.

My daddy and my first love. I’ll always be his little girl. I’m a daddy’s girl through and through. I get allot of my personality from dad. My sense of humor my tenderness are all from my dad. The bond I have with my dad is not something you see everyday. I can talk to my dad about everything and anything. I can come to my dad no matter what I’ve done.

Father of the Groom
Marc is Anthony’s father. He welcomed me and my children into his family with open arms.
Mother of the Groom
Sony is Anthony’s mom and the love of his life the queen of his world. She is such a kind and sweet soul. The love my son has for his Lola is sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. They say if you really want to know what type of man your partner will be you should watch him with his mother. If that’s the case I’m a lucky woman because Anthony is gentle and kind and loving when it comes to his mom. I owe her everything because the man he is today is because of her. Everything good about Anthony that I love and adore is because of her. She raised him to be the man I fell in love with. The bond I have with Sony is amazing I’m one of the lucky ones to get say I love my mother in law. We have these long in depth conversations and she never makes me feel judged or unloved. Thank you Sony for everything you have done.
