Winter Wonderland Wedding

I am currently writing this blog post at the airport in Baltimore, Maryland as I make my way back home to Florida. I flew up to New Hampshire for a quick weekend trip to attend my friend Hilary’s wedding! Hilary and I have worked together since I started at SNHU, and have transitioned together to the same new teams for a few rounds of organizational changes. I remember the day Hilary told me she matched with Peter on a dating app, and went on her first date with him. The rest is history! I’ve loved watching their love story unfold, and was honored to be able to celebrate their special day with them.

January 21, 2023 was a winter wonderland. The snowy backdrop looking out from the windows in the ceremony space was straight out of a National Geographic magazine. They lucked out with such a perfect day! My mom, who doubles as my best friend, joined me for the evening, and we had such a blast! The Puchacz ladies will gladly dress up in beautiful gowns any chance we can! Pictured below is a photo of my mom and I. Table 14 consisted of the best crew of my fellow coworkers, Aileen, Jenn, and Nicki, along with each of their significant others. Celebrating and dancing all night long with them made for an incredible night.

Hearing all about Hilary’s wedding planning along the way, and then getting to experience it all put together was truly magical! I was blown away with each and every unique detail. From the décor, to the couple’s crossword puzzle during cocktail hour, to the photo booth, to the voicemail guest book, to the stunning fireworks display, to the endless dancing, to the special ways guests were able to come together and participate in both the ceremony and reception – each detail was knocked out of the park. I know how much hard work went into the planning, and everything came together beautifully.

Love was in the air all night long, and yes, I got emotional during the ceremony. Who doesn’t?! I just LOVE love! It’s always so surreal to be surrounded by a couple’s family and friends who are all gathered to commemorate the union of marriage for two wonderful people. Cheers to Peter and Hilary on their forever love! 2022 and 2023 is a wedding-filled era. So far, I have attended my wonderful friends, Josh and Miranda, and Peter and Hilary’s weddings. My friends, Travis and Erin, and Doug and Anna’s weddings are set and on the horizon this year!

Whether you are single, in a relationship, or married, I hope you know how loved you are! Time always flies by, so be sure to treasure each season of life that you are in. Cheers to a love-filled 2023!

Remember to stay humble and kind, always!
