Our Wedding

Marry your best friend.This saying holds two meanings at this moment. Danielle and Colleen are doing just that. They are each marrying their best friend. I also have the greatest honor of marrying my 2 best friends. My name is Alissa and I will be officiating Danielle and Colleen’s special day. But for now, let’s go back to where it all started…The year is 2009. Colleen and I were talking at dancing school and she mentions how she wants to meet my friend Danielle. So obviously we made that happen (it was probably the next day. I move quick!). After some discussion I believe that they met in my dads car, but Danielle thinks she met her in the dance studio. No matter how it happened, thank god it did!Fast forward to January 13, 2012. Colleen and Danielle finally make it official! They thought they were being sneaky, but I had a feeling that they were more than friends! They finally told me after a few months of dating and I couldn’t be happier that my 2 best friends were together ! I still bug them to this day that they waited too long to officially tell me! Danielle and Colleen are the perfect match! They both have amazing qualities that make them a great couple. They both love fiercely and are loyal to a fault. They are beyond generous, kind, trustworthy, and just amazing individuals. Danielle knew that she was ready to pop the question! She planned a beautiful proposal on January 12th 2024. Colleen said that it was the easiest yes! They were both surrounded by so much love that day! As they move on to the next chapter of their lives, they will continue to be surrounded by so much love and support from their family and closest friends!Marry your best friend.Marry someone who you wouldn't mind waking up to every day for the rest of your life. The one who makes you glad to be alive. Marry someone who drives you crazy. The one who frustrates you. The one who calms you. Marry the one you don't mind fighting with, because they will be fair about it. Marry someone who makes you the best version of yourself. The one who believes in you, even when you don't. The one who stands by you, through thick and thin. Marry someone you can't imagine your life without. LETS HAVE A WEDDING !xoxo,Alissa
