I got these photos from @sadiethorellphoto a couple days ago and cried.

To be honest, a day before I got these photos someone said to me ā€œbtw, congratulationsā€ and I said ā€œfor what?ā€
Amidst all the chaos here in WNC I forgot I got married. Truly, it was one of the best weekends of my life, and it feels like it was years ago. 
I was so thankful to get these and be reminded of such happiness. 

We are so so lucky. We got to have our wedding and see most of our loved ones before hurricane helene. 

We are so fortunate that we survived and our house is without damage. 
We’ve been living with friends for the past two weeks, since we still don’t have power and water… and I can’t wait to go home.

Survivors guilt is real. I look at all that I have to be thankful for and it’s so hard to remind myself that I am grieving too. It’s been so hard to take a break. 
I watched my town get destroyed, favorite coffee shops- gone, favorite art studios- gone, my friends displaced and traumatized, we’re all unsure when we will get to work and make money again and yet we still have to pay our bills. There’s no stability, we have no idea when we will get water, and once we have it when it’ll be safe to drink again. The list of stress is long, and the road to recovery is even longer. 

I loved Asheville before, but now I am bonded to the Appalachian mountains deeper than I thought possible. Watching this community come together to take care of one another is what’s healing me. Slowly, but powerfully. I know our home will be rebuilt with love and strength. It will never be the same, but it will always be beautiful and special, and even stronger than before.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out, donated to @awakenwellness_retreats so Lindsay and I can give back, and all of you that have thought of us. ā™„ļø

I’m gonna post these photos on my profile to remind myself of one of the best weekends of my life that happened just a month ago, and allow myself to feel joy.

I love my people deeply.

I’ve cried so much this past weekend, so many emotions. I felt so overwhelming loved it was painful and hard to accept at times. I was given so much; time, gifts, acts of service, words of affirmation. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. This weekend really knocked me off my feet. 

I’d specifically like to call out my bridesmaids Lindz, Sarah, Mandy, Ab, My, Kat, Michelle, Jess… I didn’t have a wedding planner, I knew I was surrounded by the best people to bring my vision to fruition. To no surprise, they ended up making that vision 100x’s better. I was so grounded all weekend, literally chilling, because I knew I had nothing to worry about with these bad ass babes backing me up. They did EVERYTHING. Holy shit. I don’t even have the words to express how thankful I am. I have never felt so cared for in my entire life. 

Special shout out to @marissavargo @isaac_ @abbnormaliti  and @mistymtn.man for being the best camp counselors I could have dreamed up. So many fun games! 

SO grateful for @sadiethorellphoto , her talent is insane! She’s magic behind a lenses. I feel so comfortable around her and she’s unmatched when it comes to capturing how a moment really feels. Her photography tells a story and damn do I love her! 

Big thanks to the talented @jennafulmer_ for coming in to do hair! She’s seriously the best hair stylist I’ve ever been to. Plus she’s so caring, beautiful, chill and funny! It’s a gift to be in her chair.

So much love to @jennashawty for giving a pre wedding massage to make sure I was grounded. She has a special touch, andI feel so comfortable with her. My massage school bestie knows me so well and I’m forever grateful for her. 

To @zachstivers my new brother! We couldn’t have picked a better officiant. So heartfelt and poetic. Plus, he’s such a thespian! 

@cfreeland08 for being a great DJ while I walked down the isle. She nailed the transitions!

So grateful for @alevides … the best DJ I could have asked for. He knows how to bring the energy! Everyone is still raving about it!

To all those who couldn’t be there or whom I didn’t send an invitation (had to keep it small). You were with me spirit, I thought of you often, I love you.
