There’s just something magical about a wedding…
Especially when it is one of your BEST-EST (totally a word) girlfriends.
Backstory: There is a group of us ladies who have been friends for a long time. We (Myself, Catie, Becky, Lenaiah, Monique, & Val) all met while teaching at the same school in 2007- except Val (which we call Valicious), I met her when we were child abuse investigators in 2006 and we instantly became BFF’s. We all bonded and we’ve been friends ever since…like a fairy tale. ;)
Fast forward to December 20, 2015 and our girlfriend, Monique (which we call Mo), is GETTING MARRIED!!!
Mo was THE most beautiful bride that I have ever seen. The day and into the evening was spent laughing, drinking cocktails, eating food, and hanging out with friends…all while watching Mo, and her best friend/husband R, get married at Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa in Vero Beach, Florida.
It was a little overcast and windy, but it was nothing short of magnificent and magical. And I couldn’t be more happy for the newly married couple. They are so happy, so in love, and so amazing!
And so…without further ado, here are the I-do’s in photo story form…
Just me and my main squeeze
…when you give Val-icious a selfie-stick…
Waiting for the wedding to start
Catie is our gorgeous Katie Perry of the group
There’s always that ONE guy that runs through the wedding (and he did come back while the ceremony was taking place)!
Here comes the groom and his grandmother. So handsome!
Here comes Nelly (Mo’s mom and one of the coolest & classiest women EVER) along with Prada!
Here comes the gorgeous bride and her daddy waving to all of us (her awesome girlfriends!).
That GORG dress tho…
Giving away his baby girl…
The best man forgot he had the rings and looked to the ring bearer for them. It was a great moment!
The new Mr & Mrs. So happy and so in love (and a baby on the way).

Well, thanks for letting me share the wedding photo’s with y’all.
Happy New Year!
