Having a wedding and getting married really makes you examine the friends you have in your life. Especially, since I have to pick a Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids. Right after Matt and I got engaged, I knew immediately who would be my Maid of Honor. A Maid of Honor in my eyes, is someone who is one of your best friends, who will be your right hand women through the process of planning a wedding and of course the big day. She gives advice and does things without asking, she snaps you back to reality when you have doubts or calms you down when stress overcomes you. She supports your relationship and is your biggest cheerleader. She doesn't care how much you want to talk about your wedding because she knows how much a big deal it is to you. She rallies the bridesmaids and plans the best bridal shower and bachelorette party. Most importantly my Maid of Honor will be someone that will forever be my friend in life.
Miss Nataly, is going to be my MOH<3!
Nataly is my best friend and the best one I have ever had. She truly cares about the people in her life, and brings such joy to everyone who knows her. She is so inspiring with her views on life. She is so sincere and gives the best advice. She works extremely hard and brings so much passion to everything she does.
We met our junior year of college while being directors of an organization we were apart of. The funny thing is we weren't that close at first. I just remember seeing her and always thinking I wish that girl and I could be friends. I just was to shy and intimated by her happiness and leadership to approach her on a deeper level, or ask her to hang out. The funny thing is, she felt the same way as well. She ended up leaving the organization for another opportunity. I remember when hearing about this I was so sad, even though I had not gotten that close to her. I was sad that I missed my opportunity to grow closer. We stayed in touch and talked and would see each other every so often. A new sorority was coming to campus and I really wanted to join. They were looking for more women to get in contact with about joining as well. One of the first people I thought of was Nataly. I submitted her name to Sigma Kappa and then texted her telling her she needed to join. Eventually she did, and ever since then we have been inseparable. I am so lucky she is one of my sisters, because we share a bond that is indescribable. She has been there for many of the biggest moments in my life. I think choosing Nataly as my Maid of Honor is and will be one of the easiest decisions I will make about my wedding. Which also made it even more perfect that she was the only one there for when finding my wedding dress too! I plan on asking my bridesmaid in a special way, but I just had to ask Nataly in person. After the bridal show, we went to lunch and I ordered us mimosas. I was so nervous to ask her, and joked around with her after that I got a taste of what Matt felt like when asking me to marry him. She has and will be the perfect maid of honor. I can't wait to make more big memories and go through life moments together.
Okay...crying. Kelsey, this is the story of our friendship in just such a short summary and I couldn't have done it better myself. The details that lie in between the lines of this blog post are memories that I will hold forever but only make me ever so excited for future ones to come.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to make a beautiful bride, Kelsey. I'm honored to be the one to stand next to you throughout this love journey of yours.
I love you bestie,
your MOH <3
