Bride
It's me! Beach aficionado, lover of all types of blue/greens & sunsets, techno-head and super type A personality. Thankfully, I met this man who has helped me to release my death grip on life, taught me how to calm down and that everything isn't THAT serious. Our wedding day is supposed to be the "start" of our new life but our new life started the day I met him.

From living the Long Beach life, nightly walks to the beach to just sit and watch the waves and center ourselves to trips to Atlantic City where we partied like queens, to her wedding and now to mine: She's been here for the great moments and the terrible ones. Wedding planning wouldn't be half as fun if she wasn't involved. She pushes me to do things that I've dug my heels in on and I almost always say "oh that wasn't so bad" or "that was super fun!". Having someone in your life that says the same things at the same time as you is incredible, the only other person who I'm this connected to is Jack.

Maggie has taught me some of the most important things in life, how to make Kraft Mac & Cheese, how to stand up for myself and NEVER let anyone try to step on me.. We've been friends longer than I have been with anyone and I've lived more years knowing her than I haven't. She's my family, given me the most wonderful experience of being an aunt, trusted me enough to name me a godmother, and introduced me to the most magical place in the world that just puts my soul at peace-Virginia Beach.

We had a little bit of a rough start at first - we hated each other - lol. But that developed into such an incredible friendship. The memories that we have made those first few months worth it. Getting our first tattoo's, underage, at St. Marks, nights roaming the city when we weren't supposed to (sorry mom!), and weird fights over the last slice of american cheese or eating too many blueberries. We rebelled together and grew together and know that no matter what we'd always have each others backs. The passion that Jayme has for everything in her life is something that drives me to find the same in mine.

"Sergeant O'Leary is walking the beat, at night he becomes a bartender / He works at Mr. Cacciatore's down on Sullivan Street, across from the medical center / And he's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac."

Well, Tania got stuck with me years ago, unwillingly, because of a promotion at work. People make jokes about your work friends all the time "they know what hell is because they go through it with you every day" but it's so true. She not only "suffers" with me at work but chooses to "suffer" with me outside of work as well. I am so lucky to have someone who's willing to put up with me during the day, at night, on weekends and for weekend/road trips - Jack doesn't even deal with me that much! She's got the biggest heart and is such a wonderful human being, I'm so lucky she was forced to work with me all those years ago.

Mia, my love, my niece and the child who acts like shes mine even though she isn't - HOW I LOVE HER! She's sassy and knows what she wants and THINKS she's older than her years but she still just wants to cuddle with Auntie when I visit. Watching you go from this tiny little thing to having a personality that's too big to fit in your body is my absolute joy in life. I'm not a regular auntie, I'm a cool auntie It is such a blessing to have her here on the most important day of my life! Mimi, auntie loves you unconditionally, no matter what or how far apart we are.

Oh Lukas, you are so special to me. You are my only nephew, the first child I loved so fiercely that I knew we were family even though we're not blood. You gave me the most important title in my life so far, Auntie. Watching you grow up has been such a wonderful journey, I cant believe you're in double digits now! I wish you could be a little munchkin in my arms again but how you grow and persevere is so incredible to watch, I couldn't give it up. Auntie loves you so very much bubba.
