“To my best friend, Thank you for being you and for letting me be me. Thank you for letting me feel so much like myself when I’m with you. Thank you for not making me wear any masks or put on any fronts. Thank you sharing in my happiest moments; for listening to my saddest stories and radiating compassion and empathy from wherever you happened to be. Thank you for being the only person I ever want to confide in. Thank you for being the most beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for making the world a better place, just by being in it. Thank you for loving more fiercely than anyone I know. Thank you for the laughs, for the cries, and for everything in between. Thank you for being my rock, my anchor; for keeping me grounded when I feel like I might otherwise blow away. Thank you for all of the things you do, big and small. Thank you for knowing my favorite ice cream flavor and what song I would die for. Thank you for always knowing what to say and for being one of life’s best teachers. Thank you for making fun of me when I deserve it, and for loving me when I don’t. Thank you for staying constant in a world full of change, and for keeping some normalcy in a world full of chaos. Thank you for making me hurt when I miss you, but for taking the hurt away when I see you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for the absolute privilege and honor of being able to call you my best friend; thank you for being my person. Thank you for giving me these reasons, and a million more, to be thankful for. Forever and Always, Your Best Friend“ — Lauren Smith • Swipe through these amazing photos by @tashavibe • • • • • • • #DIRTYBOOTSANDMESSYHAIR #destinationwedding #elopement #destinationweddingphotographer #engagementshoot #indiebride #rusticwedding #brideandgroom #loveauthentic #adventurealways #adventurouswedding #couple #couplegoals #relationship #relationshipgoals #wedding #love #lovequotes #coupleshoot #bohowedding #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #mountainwedding #outdoorwedding #getoutside #loveintentionally #postmoreportraits #instawedding #wanderlust #thatsdarling
