To the ones who loved me first 🤍

I don’t think I can put into words the feeling of standing between the two of you in my wedding dress, ready to take on a new season—but a month ago, I had that moment, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

My mama, you have always been the one to turn me back around when I’ve wavered, my shoulder to cry on when things got heavy, but most of all, you have been my example of what loving looks like. The sacrifices you have made so I could thrive… the sticking it out even in the tough times… you are everything I want to be as a wife, and I am so thankful you’re only one text away at any point in time.

Daddio, you’ve always been there to encourage my crazy dreams and support me. I’ve told you since elementary school my daddy-daughter dance would be “Butterfly Kisses,” but actually dancing to it in your arms is a memory I never want to forget.

I didn’t get here by accident. I got here because of your prayers, your sacrifices, and the way you poured everything into our family. And as I become a wife, I carry all of that with me.

You raised me to believe in the kind of love that lasts—and I found it.
But no matter how grown I get, I’ll always be your girl.

I love you more than words can say. 🤍
