Yesterday was the best day of my life. In the cool June rain I married my best friend. We were surrounded by the most loving tribe of family and friends. I think my father said it best.. “we are walking on the moon!” Thank you to @courtneyspaceevents for holding my hand and making this wedding everything I could ever have dreamed. You and Brooke are seriously the best in the bussiness. To @robertryancater for the unreal backdrop, food, and impeccable service. To @belovely_design for the breathtaking design, flowers, signage, flower crowns.. etc. You are a goddess. To @shimmerandspice for making not only myself but my Maids and my Mothers look like perfect dewey angels with your magical makeup. To @jillkozar for the softest, most elegant updo on the planet. And for @autumnkernphoto for capturing our entire day with patience, grace warmth. To @mitlasproductions for the best Hora that has ever been danced. Your Band and DJ were incredible. But most of all to @joshpaulyoung for marrying me. I have never smiled more, laughed harder, felt happier, or shined brighter then I do with you by my side. I love you. #jemily #summerwedding #courtneyspaceevents #belovely #philanderchaseknoxestate #upyourdo #shimmerandspice #mitlasproductions
