Today I am sharing one of my favorite weddings of all time! This wedding was unique and special for many reasons.  1. This was a destination wedding! 2. It was on a yacht at sunset! 3. The bride is one of my childhood best friends! 4. This couple is certainly meant to be!

I almost called off my wedding. Seriously, I was very ready to just not have the big wedding and let signing the marriage license be it.  It wasn’t because I hadn’t dreamed of my wedding day since I was four…because I had. It wasn’t because I had not had time to look through every bridal magazine or create multiple inspiration boards on Pinterest…because I had.  It wasn’t because I wasn’t in love with my fiancé…because I sure as heck was not letting him get away.  I almost called off my wedding because I could not find a wedding dress.

I am crazy proud of my dad and for this decision and many others.  Here is a photo of my dad and me on my wedding day…
