It's The Small Things

I felt as though I was very forthcoming and very honest in the run up to our wedding, especially with the fact that planning a wedding around moving and renovating our house, and my usual workload too, was just too much to have taken on. I constantly felt like I needed 8 days in a week and the ability to survive on 2 hours sleep. Spoiler alert - I cannot ha! But, what made it so much easier to get through was the support of friends. It wasn't the big gestures or the over the top sentiments, it was the late night phone calls and the random 'What can I do to help you?' text messages that lightened the load more than they probably realised at the time. Being available for someone costs not a penny, but all those times that friends went out of their way to offer a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen or words of encouragement when they were most needed, remain priceless to me. It's so true that the big events filled with stress, travel and large groups of people will show you which friends are your true ride or dies and luckily for Alex and I, our wedding only solidified the friendships we've already made.
