Invisible String

So Taylor Swift recently came out with her new album folklore and on that album there’s a song called invisible string. The song talks about how fate leads you to the person you’re supposed to be with when you don’t even realize it. Then looking back, you realize how each minute event in your life was pivotal or things wouldn’t have turned out the same way. This had me thinking about the crazy minute events that led to Jared and me meeting and if one thing had been different, we probably never would have met. So here’s the story of the invisible string tying us together.

Wedding Pre-Planning

As I’ve mentioned, I have been waiting to get engaged for about 2 years now.

Jared’s Foray Into Pure Barre

I am an avid Pure Barre attendee. Fortunately, I have a partner who supports this addiction rather than groan about it when I wake up early on a Sunday morning to get my workout in. It’s not uncommon to hear him cheering, “Yes girl! You get those 250 classes!” as I leave the house to make it to barre by 8:30 a.m. However, one thing he was never expecting to do is lift, tone, burn alongside me at barre. Yet that is exactly how we spent our Valentine’s Day! Continue reading
