The ring was given, she said “yes,” we’ve taken her out for her Bachelorette party, shared in her excitement at her bridal tea and lingerie shower and now the time has come.
My best friend, Susannah is getting married on Sunday. She’ll be marrying her baseball-playing fiance and the love of her life in what is sure to be an amazing ceremony. I feel so honored to be a part of her special day. I can’t wait to watch as she and Mitch stand before their family and friends and say their vows. It’s a love story 10 years in the making that started with a chance encounter on the beach while they were both vacationing. Amazing to think that God already has it all figured out, long before we do.
I don’t have a friend that I’ve known longer than Sus. We met at dance class before we even started kindergarten.
We went to school together and we then attended the same college, we even graduated together with a degree in elementary education.
We have a friendship that spans 20 years and like most people who slowly grow apart, we’ve only grown closer. We share so many memories from silly boy fights, to beach trips, concerts and college and even those sacred Lee Middleton dolls. We got through some of the toughest tests and projects together in college. And cheering her on as she competed in Miss Alabama.
I remember that call she made to me after she knew things were serious with Mitch,
“So, when you know you know, right, because it hasn’t been long but Jennifer we’re talking marriage!!”
My reply?
“When you know, you know. There won’t be any doubt”
Just a short year later she was calling to let me know of her engagement.
I’m so happy for you, Sus and I just know there are many memories to be made…
Now, go say “I do,” and become Mrs. Moreland, already!
