It was a dream come true! We wanted to showcase our hobbies and creativity so we decided on a fantasy forest theme.

The party was whimsical and magical with heaps of laughter and tears. It was a celebration of our love and future as husband and wife. We prepared speeches that made many guests and loved ones tear!

We were delighted that our wedding went well yet sad that it was the end of our hard work and planning. I felt very blessed to be wed to my best friend.
