Real Brides: Ann

My husband and I actually graduated high school together in 2014 but never talked, he probably never even knew I existed. Fast forward to October 6th, 2018 our first date after that I knew I loved him and after the first week I knew I was going to make him my husband. He is everything I ever prayed for in a husband, all the way down to the truck and the accent. He is a Godly man who puts God at the center of everything. It didn’t take us long before we both knew we wanted to get married and we both knew we didn’t want to wait long. When you realized you want to spend the rest of your life with someone you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible, and that’s true with us. We got married May 25th of this year. He is my best friend, my protector, and my safe haven. My life will never be the same, I will continue to choose him over and over and over again. I knew this dress was the one honestly as soon as I put it on. I had tried on maybe 4 dresses before this one and none of them made me feel the way this one did. I was in an bad relationship once were he tore me down and degraded my self esteem. After that I never have been able to look at myself in the same way as I did before him. But let me tell you in that dress I felt my confidence and self esteem skyrocket. I finally felt like a princess again, and since then I’ve held myself so high. It was way more than just a wedding dress for me. Photo by Leah Stankus
