11-7-14

SIX MONTHS from TODAY, I will be marrying my best friend. I will be getting ready and probably freaking out. So I decided to write a letter to myself today, to read 6 months from now.




Dear Darling Self,

Today you are a bride, today you will become Mrs. Matthew Glynn. You will walk down an isle towards your future, towards your new life, towards your best friend. Today is the day that every tear shed, every time your heart hurt, or every time your soul wanted to find it's other half was all worth it. You get to marry your handsome fiance today. I hope in the past six months, you got to do everything you wanted to do, which would definitely be being emotionally, mentally, and physically ready for this moment. I hope Matthew and yourself, pushed each other to go to the gym most days. I hope Matthew and yourself, got to go on lots of dates and relish in the last 6 months of engaged life. I hope you took a step back once in awhile and just soaked in how lucky you are. I hope you did not have too many anxiety attacks along the way with juggling planning this wedding, 40+ hour work week, and spending time with friends, family, and Matthew! I think the most important thing to remind you is, today is all about Matthew and you. It doesn't matter if you didn't get the flowers you wanted or someone did or didn't show up. Today marks the rest of your life saying our life. Making dreams and goals together and growing and learning together every step of the way. Today is the last day you will be Kelsey Marguerite Higgins, such a bittersweet moment, but there is greater amazing moments that lay ahead as Kelsey Marguerite Glynn. Now, go and enjoy yourself, be fully present in the hours and seconds of today. Be thankful for everything and everyone. Now, get your big girl panties on, don't cry too much, and make today the best memory ever! Go marry your best friend!


With all my love,

Kelsey Higgins 

Meet the Bridal Party

When you picture your wedding, you think obviously of marrying your best friend, the expression on his face as you walk down the isle towards him. But, you also think about the people you want up there waiting for your arrival to get down the isle, Who's smiling face do you want to see next your soon to be husband. The bridal party is such a crucial part to the whole wedding and getting married experience. Since, getting engaged I have really taken the time to think about my friendships in my life. I do have to admit, I have some damn good friends.

I have always believed friends are a reflection of who you are. Friends are the family you choose. All my bridesmaids have played a vital role in my life and getting to the person I am today. They have watched me succeed and supported me through some of the greatest celebrations.

Megan:
Megan is my God Sister. Now, before you go saying, what the heck is that. I will explain!! Her mother is my God Mother, and my mother is her God Mother, so therefore we naturally just call each other God Sisters. We grew up together and some of my fondest memories growing up are with this girl! What I love about our relationship is that we could go months and months, without talking, but throughout our life we have always found one another and kept in touch, despite living in different states. We can just pick up where we left off and fill-in all the necessary details of one another's lives. We ALWAYS ALWAYS had a blast together, no matter where we were or what we were doing. Her mother was my mother's maid of honor in her wedding 25 years ago. So, of course I had to keep the tradition alive by having her in my bridal party! Megan currently attends Sac State and is on the dance team and a crossfit guru! 

Lacey:
Lacey is my little sister in the sorority. She is so spunky and full of life! She is totally clueless when it comes to makeup and boys, but I make up for that part of our relationship. She truly is like a little sister to me! As much as our relationship is me giving her lots of advice, she has helped me grow too! She may not know how much I need her, but I really do! She has been a constant support system to me since the day I met her and one of my biggest cheerleaders. Being like a real little sister to me, that is why I chose her to be one of my bridesmaids! Lacey currently is going into her junior year at ASU and loves softball and soccer!! 

Chelsea:
Chelsea is one of my best friends and sorority sisters as well. We had originally met in Sigma Kappa. She was a transfer student of UofA (wildcats suck!), full of joy and happiness. I remember when I first saw her and just thought "who is this girl, and how can I become friends with her". I thought she was beyond cool and I wasn't sure how I was going to measure up to her coolness. As soon as we hung out we instantly connected and have been inseparable ever since. We have been eachothers support systems through crucial parts of out life and I would not want it any other way. Chelsea is almost done and graduating soon from ASU with a dietician degree, she also love loves pizza and anything monogramed! 

Jordyn: 

Jordyn and I have been best of friends since we were little. We have known each other since we were little toddlers running around. Our families have been friends since forever! We also grew up living in the same neighborhood together and would ride our scooters or bikes over to one another's house. We have had countless sleepovers every weekend. We are apart of one another's families. We always went to different schools, expect for junior high, and again no matter what we were doing in our life, we were always constantly their for one another. Through my living in different countries and being crazy busy in college, we found time to talk or see one another. When we were little we talked about getting married and being one another's bridesmaids! Well dreams do come true, because we are both getting married this year and in each other's weddings!

Each of these girls represent various events and phases in my life and I would not want anyone else standing up there next to me on the big day!

I love you girls!

XOXO,

Soon to Be Mrs. Glynn
