I'm 37 and have been with my FH since 2013. I know he is my forever and I could not walk through this life without him . My best friend. I have chosen to completely plan my wedding on my own. With a little help from my MOH and my FMIL. It will be a small intimate ceremony with a large reception to follow.

Happily married 🎉

We are doing it with our cake. We are huge music lovers . And this cake really is us. Ours will actually be a two layer and minus the cascading notes. And I had the cake topper custom made.
