On July 7th, one of my closest, dearest friends, Molly, married the love of her life, Mike.

It is funny. I feel like Molly has always been in my life, but I guess it wasn’t until 6th grade when we actually met and became friends. We experienced life together – jr. high dances, cheerleading competitions, first loves, dance team, college visits, breakups, University of Illinois, a broken foot, weekend trips, Chicago nightlife, late nights of talking (ok, gossiping..), dancing until 4 a.m., El Burrito trips, and so, so much more. So when Molly’s special day was finally here, I couldn’t have been happier to be right by her to be the best bridesmaid I could be.

The day and the details were absolutely perfect. Mike and Molly wed at Old St. Patrick’s Church and partied late into the evening at Eaglewood. It went by in a blink of the eye, but I am so happy that I was able to sneak in a few photos throughout the day that I hope she will look back on for years to come (because I know I will….).

Congrats again to a fabulous couple. I know that the years ahead will be full of amazing memories, and I’m lucky to have two wonderful friends in my life! I love you both!
