Wedding Days

Preparing for a wedding can be exciting, frustrating, nerve wrecking and simply a roller coaster of emotions altogether. I remember preparing for the big day myself, mixed with many wonderful feelings and taking that roller coaster ride up and down, up and down.

Now a new preparation begins and in only a few weeks, I will walk down the aisle again. This time I will not walk down the isle as a bride, but as a Maid of Honor or MOH as it is otherwise known. As I think about the many special events that will take place that evening, the terrifying walk down the isle, the exchange of the ring and the vows, the big kiss and that last but not least, the BIG celebration that follows.
