This past weekend I made the 290 mile trek (each way) to San Luis Obispo for my good friend Sasha's wedding. Sasha, a.k.a. Sushi, Sassy (as JD always called her), Sorcha, etc. and I have known each other since 6th grade. It all started in Mr. B's 6th grade Literature class and even though Sasha and I went to rival elementary schools we quickly bonded in that afternoon class.
Throughout middle school and high school we maintained a very steady and close friendship. Sasha, Kelly, Cara, Brittany, Jessica, Megahn and I were best friends. We did everything together and went through it all. Sadly at the end of High School we all went to different colleges all across the country and Sasha ended up in CalPoly SLO, ultimately leading her to Dylan who is now her husband.
Sasha and Dylan's wedding was an absolute blast for so many reasons. First of all, every single detail of it was PERFECT. From the outdoor garden ceremony, to the cocktail reception and then the dance party of all dance parties in the most adorable barn I've ever seen- everyone was smiling and happy to be there sharing Sasha and Dylan's special day.
On top of that it was seeing so many people that I've known for so long that really made it so much fun. Wesley, Wade and David B. were all there, these were they boys who grew up on my street and I've known since I was 4 or 5 years old. I got to spend some quality time with 2 of my best friends from high school, Cara and Kelly and seeing Sasha's family, especially her parents Herb and Shelly. But my favorite part of the weekend was seeing the smile on Sasha's face- it was BEAMING the whole entire time. It is clear that she was just happy to be marrying her best friend. Her and Dylan wrote their own vows, and they were individually touching and from the heart (not a dry eye in the crowd). It was heart warming to see Dylan struggle through his without tears, and then to see Sasha wipe them off his face. I know they'll make a great team and I'm so happy that one of my oldest friends found this kind of love! Congrats Sasha and Dylan!!!!
