Love is such a beautiful thing and so are best friends. It’s even more special when you can combine the two. I’ve been married before, for 6 years. And although my marriage didn’t last, I still have the utmost respect for what marriage is really all about.
My best friend, has been with me since middle school. I’ve seen her go through a couple serious relationships as she has with me. She was there when everything went south in my marriage and she held my hand as I recovered after the divorce. So you can imagine the happiness I had when she told me, during a romantic birthday getaway, her boyfriend popped the question and she said YES!
The planning was underway and a few months later, I received a box from my bestie. Let me just say that my best friend is so creative. She bakes and designs the most amazing cakes, she’s a photographer, and an all-around DIY-er! I love that about her. Creatives stick together ya know. So, it was just as amazing to see the way she popped the question to me. She wanted me to be her Maid of Honor. Of course, I had already planned on being there for her every step of the way title or no, but her invitation was classic Charity…
She took a box, and in the lid, there was a card that read: “I’ve found my guy, now I need my girl!”
Included in the box was a mini bottle of wine (which is always cause for applause 
), EOS lip balm, a wine glass emblazoned with “DIVA” all over it, candy, and a card detailing the Maid-of-Honor’s duties. She really took the time to make her invitation to us just as important and meaningful as the entire wedding will be to her. I’m really excited to be by her side and help my friend enjoy one of the most important days of her life. She deserves happiness and love, and I am thankful that I am here to see it through.
I’ll keep you guys posted as we move on through the wedding planning process…! What are some Maid-of Honor tips you can share with me? I want to be the best I can be for my bestie. Leave your tips in the comment section below, it’s greatly appreciated!
