Nine  years ago, on this very day, Zeb wrapped his arms around me. Butterflies collided, my knees grew weary, and something changed. Something special had happened after our first date at the Providence Place Mall, right before he asked me out…online. I fell in love before I even knew I had the capability. Today, 494 days after his birthday proposal surprise, we return to Providence to say the most meaningful words we’ll say in our entire life. Today, we finally get married.

Years from now, I will tell my Grandchildren that their Grandparents were married amidst political unrest, a royal wedding, a natural disaster, and a whole lot of love. I’ve recently been feeling that my friends’ and families’ devotion to making our day perfect is a sincere testament to how they feel about us as a couple. It’s the greatest compliment anyone could ever bestow upon us. (TOOT TOOT! That’s my horn… and I’m tooting it—I hear I’m allowed today.)

My heart nearly bursts when thinking about how lucky I’ve been to share my journey with all of you. Thank you bees, for supporting me through the bad, laughing with me through the funny, and sharing in the joy of our wedding. Please know that I have read and appreciated every single last one of your comments. You are a wonderful group of people and I wish you the very best for your own weddings. If nothing else, I hope my words have made you laugh. This wedding planning pain train, as I like to call it, is tough. Sometimes you need to laugh at it. Please remember that.

Things have been fairly smooth in the last week except for some bustle drama. The beauty of making friends in design school is that they’ll pull an all nighter with you to fix it. Thank you Cakes. You are my lifesaver. I’ve been stalking the weather for 10 days, even waking up to snow on Thursday. Luckily, today is going to be a beautiful New England Spring day, 40 degrees and sunny. I’ve been mourning the loss of my amazing signature and joyful crying at the drop of a hat. It’s here, I’m excited, and as our friends slowly start piling into our tiny home, I can’t help but feel loved. No matter what goes wrong, I will remember Mrs. Tiramisu. It is, definitely, always about the love that surrounds you.

Finally, to my sexy man: I think I’m going to let Brandon Boyd speak for me. Today, words escape me.

To see you when I wake up is a gift I didn’t think could be real. To know that you feel the same is a three-fold Utopian Dream. You do something to me that I can’t explain. You make me happy. You magnify my better half. You make me certain. I’m yours forever. I wouldn’t change a thing now that you’re here. There’s something about the look in your eyes, something I noticed when the light was just right. It reminded me twice that I was alive. And it reminded me that you’re so worth the fight. Remind me that we’ll always have each other. Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there with open arms and open eyes. I am yours.

A kiss to send us off,

Zeebs
