I feel like lately I haven't quite given the proper gratitude to the people who deserve it. From August till January of 2009-2010 my mom and dad (Mark and Laurie) dealt with non-stop problems involving our wedding. My mom went to every appointment, and when she wasn't there she was always willing to accept non-stop phone calls from me explaining what was happening and when I had no idea what to do. We went to countless appointments trying to find the best deals and her knowledge on flowers along with her high organization skills made everything that much easier. Don't get me wrong, we did have one or two blowout arguments :) but, that's apart of a wedding right? Through it all, my dad did everything and PAID for everything with a smile, a hug and a kiss. It warms my heart knowing how much my parents love me and let me have my dream wedding and give me everything I wanted to make it happen. I will never forget the late nights doing dumb projects of seating charts with sticky notes and how excited my mom and I were once it was finished and rushing downstairs to show my dad, who you could tell he didn't have the same excitement, but still showed happiness at our accomplishment. I will forever be grateful for all the kind words when I thought I was having a nervous breakdown and numerous hugs I received and the parents saying of just go to bed, you are getting no where. Through two dresses (yes people it was a mess) my dad never made me feel bad about the whole situation despite my heart hurting for the totals I was seeing and took me to dinner after to ease the stress. There are not enough thank yous in the world to express how much I feel about the perfect wedding we had. The bridal fair my mom took me to and we laughed through the whole thing with all the ridiculous people there. Despite never doing this before, my parents acted like pros and everything went off without a hitch. Also thank you to Courtney my sister for her even taking time off from medical school. I know how busy you are and all the stress you have, even though through all that you came and made programs for me, took me to countless events and helped make sweats with me until 2 in the morning when we had to be up at 6 the next morning. Evan already knows that I'm forever in his debt because I would call crying because I was so stressed, but he already knows that :) Love you!! Overall, my parents never complained, did everything with a smile and I couldn't have asked for anything more special, more perfect, or more beautiful. I feel like I haven't thanked you guys enough, so this is devoted to you two. My parents who basically put their life on hold to give me the world that day. I love you guys, thank you a million times over.
