Hey ya'll I am a 29 year old bride to be. I got engaged to my very best friend in February of 2019! A few days after Valentine's Day. He sure knew how to play that off. We live in CT, and have 3 children and 2 dogs (we don't have children together, just from past relationships). Blended families are hard work, but SO very very worth it!

Happily married 🎉
