It took me a minute.

Not to love.
Not to commit.
Not to believe in partnership.

But to truly understand what marriage means.

For most of my life, I thought marriage was about the wedding.
The dress.
The guest list.
The optics.
The performance of love.

Turns out, it’s none of that.

Marriage, for me, finally clicked when I realized it’s about choosing the same person every day, even when life isn’t dressed up. Especially when it isn’t.

It’s about safety.
It’s about honesty.
It’s about knowing who you’re walking beside when the music stops.

And once that landed in my body, not just my head, everything changed.

So here I am.
Planning my very first wedding.
With clarity.
With calm.
With joy.

And yes… with a 138-day countdown.

Why It Took Me Time

I’ve lived a full life. I’ve built businesses, raised a child, followed intuition, trusted energy, learned hard lessons, and stood back up more times than I can count.

Marriage wasn’t something I wanted to rush into just to check a box. I needed to understand it on my own terms.

What I know now is this:
Marriage isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence.

It’s not about finding someone who never disappoints you.
It’s about finding someone who stays in the room when things get uncomfortable.

That’s the vow.

A Magical Hoedown, Because of Course

If you know me, you know this won’t be stiff or scripted.

This will be a magical hoedown.
Grounded joy.
Barefoot laughter.
Music that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

It will feel like freedom, not pressure.
Like celebration, not performance.
Like real life, dressed up just enough to honor the moment.

Because love should feel expansive, not tight.

138 Days of Intention

This countdown isn’t stressful.
It’s sacred.

Each day is an invitation to show up with intention, gratitude, and honesty. To keep choosing. To keep communicating. To keep laughing.

Marriage isn’t the finish line.
It’s a beginning with roots.

And I finally get it.

So here’s to first weddings.
To timing that makes sense in your bones.
To love that feels safe, wild, and real.

Let the countdown begin.
