I don’t think there are any words in the millions of words printed in the dictionary that can describe how I feel about my future bridesmaids. Starting a new chapter of my life with him does not mean ending my life with y’all but this does mean less time I get to spend with my favorite people. My favorite getaway. My favorite pass time. My favorite laughs.
There’s no doubt that I will be panicking and my bridesmaids will have to calm me down. They will be the only ones who can keep me calm because they have known me for years now. They have seen me at my best and my worst. And will forever see me as me and no one else.
If there’s anyone else I will love more than the man who will be standing in front of me on my wedding day, it will be my bridesmaids. Sorry {insert name}. These are women I’m going to look back on and thank god they were placed in my life. Surely they will look so beautiful and even the ones who never cry in front of me will be teary at my wedding. I will smile because they let me dress them in a pastel pink because they know that’s my favorite color. And they want all my little wishes to come true despite how dramatic they may be.
I will laugh because they tell me I was a lot to put up with before the wedding. I will cry because this means less time with them. I will frown because our girls night out won't be the same. I will look at them and think of all the crazy moments we shared and be thankful they get to experience this stepping stone to another stage of life with me. And although they will not be overly eager to let me go they will be extremely ecstatic that I finally found the love of my life other than tacos and them.
These women have made an important impact in my life. Each have experienced me at different stages of my life. Each have become more than a friend, more than a name, they have become an impact. An impact in my life I will cherish until I die. An impact that I will carry with me even when times are good, bad and horrendous.
An impact that I will hold with me when things seem to unbearable or unthinkable. They are my pact, my protectors, my saviors and my family. I will never trade them for world. They have put up with me through my highs and lows and still have remained honest, loyal, forgiving and loving. What more can I say other than I love each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart. More than they will ever know.
But until that day comes I want to continuing making our memories strong, fun, bright and bold. And always a little sassy.
