Wedding Win: Love, Laughter, and a Little Help From My Crew
Wedding Win: Love, Laughter, and a Little Help From My Crew! ✨
Wedding planning is no small feat, am I right? From floral arrangements to seating charts, it’s easy to feel like you’re juggling a million tiny details (and maybe dropping a few along the way). But let me share a little slice of joy from my own journey that turned a stress-mess into a love-fest.
Let me set the scene:
My partner and I had been staring at invitation templates for days. No, scratch that—weeks. Fonts blurred together, designs started looking identical, and we reached that point where even deciding on a shade of white felt like the world’s most monumental decision.
Enter my Maid of Honor, the real MVP.
She texted me one evening with zero context:
“Be at my place at 7 PM. Dress comfy.”
I showed up in sweats (as one does for a mystery invite), and she had everything set up for what she lovingly called ‘Invitation and Chill Night.’ 🕯️💌
The table was covered with sample invitations, stickers, envelopes, and pens. There was pizza, wine (a planning essential), and Netflix queued up with my favorite rom-com. For the next few hours, we laughed, debated fonts like our lives depended on it, and even got the envelopes addressed by the end of the night.
Why This Moment Meant So Much
It wasn’t just about choosing the perfect design or finally crossing “invitations” off my to-do list. It was about slowing down and realizing that wedding planning doesn’t have to feel like a solo marathon. Sharing that moment with someone I love made it all feel lighter—more fun, more meaningful.
And honestly? Those laughs with my MOH over pizza and glitter pens will be just as memorable as saying “I do” (okay, almost as memorable 😉).
The Real Moral of the Story
Planning your wedding isn’t just about the Big Day—it’s about all the little moments of love and connection you create along the way. Whether it’s your MOH swooping in with pizza or your partner hyping you up during a cake-tasting marathon, the magic is in the journey.
So, here’s my advice to all my fellow brides: Lean on your people. Let them help, let them laugh with you, and let them remind you that this is supposed to be joyful, not stressful.
