... Read moreHaving my besties by my side in the bustling city of New York on my wedding day truly made the experience unforgettable. The energy and diversity of NYC added a special touch to the celebrations, reflecting a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere that resonated deeply with us. Planning a wedding in such a dynamic urban setting meant we had endless options for venues, dining, and photo opportunities, all incorporating the city's unique charm. From cozy rooftop views of the skyline to lively neighborhood streets filled with culture and history, New York City is an incredible backdrop for a celebration of love and friendship. What made this day even more meaningful was how my friends, representing the LGBT community and beyond, brought their authentic selves to the event. The support and happiness they shared reminded me how important it is to have a community that embraces diversity and inclusivity. This celebration was not just about the union of two people but also about honoring the bonds of friendship and the rich cultural fabric of the city. For anyone considering a NYC wedding, I highly recommend involving your closest friends and choosing locations that reflect your personal story and values. Embracing the city's lively spirit and its welcoming attitude toward all backgrounds can enrich your wedding experience far beyond expectations. Sharing this journey with my besties made every moment full of laughter, warmth, and love—treasures I will cherish forever.

A Weekend In Charleston!⛵️🦪🌊🍸
Had an amazing trip to Charleston with some of my high school besties! We hit a ton of restaurants (check out my last post for details!) and just had fun exploring the city. We pretty much hit all the stops on our list and 3 nights was the perfect amount of time in our super cute Airbnb.
