These are the girls who I ve grown up with from teenagers, to wives, to mothers and beyond. I ve known my maid of honor Laura for 15 years, which is over half our lives. No matter where in the world I am, I speak to these girls nearly every day. Waking up to 200 whatsapp notifications when you re in a different timezone and have missed whole conversations in a group thread would be anxiety inducing for some, but it s what gets me through when I m far away from my family and friends. I ve never been one to throw around the word best friend lightly; it comes from trust built over time and loyalty felt deep within my bones. I can count my best friends on my hands, and these girls (plus a few more who aren t in this photo - you know who you are) are my core foundation and grounding forces. As my friend Katie would say, Surround yourself with those who feel like light . These girls aren t just my sun, but also my moon, my stars and entire universe. Sisterhood, it s a powerful thing
