TO HAVE AND TO HOLD

“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." ❤️ — Helen Keller

A wedding ring is a symbol of commitment; a promise, a pledge, and a vow.

Often times we feel as though no one is capable or even worthy of loving us. We guard and shield our hearts. A million heartbreaks doesn’t make it any easier for us to let someone in.

Well I’m here to tell you to “Give Love A Chance.” It is then that you will find the true meaning of life.

Love will find you when you least expect it. No matter how you try to avoid it, it sneaks upon you. Trust me, I know it all too well. If someone told me that I would meet my future husband at the age of 18 and be married at 19, I would not have believed it. Love found me in one of the most vulnerable stages of my life. I had just lost my grandmother. I was bitter from failed relationship and I wanted to be single and enjoy my youth. But God had other plans.

When my brother in law proposed to my sister. I was excited not only for the festivities or being a bridesmaid but excited that she found love. Excited that she found someone who has her best interest at heart.

Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one.” -Friedrich Halm-

So after much unsatisfactory services my sister decides that she I am in charge of hair and makeup for her wedding party. The gag is I’m not a #MUA. Doing hair is a definite as I’ve always been a freelance hairstylist but the furthest I’ve gone to makeup is doing my own. But here we go. Well things didn’t quite go as planned with time and we all had to tag team on our makeup💄.

Bridesmaid for a day, but best friends for life.

Now to the clothing. This bridesmaid dress was to die for. It is #classy yet edgy, simple yet elegant. Not to mention inexpensive. See my new #ShopTheLook feature below for details on this look. Oh and that bouquet 💐 is my creation.

A true friend is someone who is there for you even when she would rather be somewhere else.

I want to congratulate my sister and on marrying her Prince Charming. You deserve it all. I love you guys and I want to wish you a long life of love and happiness. Thanks to my brother in law for making sure she had the wedding of her dreams.
