It’s hard to believe that 13 years have gone by already. September 11th 2001 was more than just a devastating day for Americans, it was  indeed a day that shook our humanity. I clearly remember as many do, where I was that tragic day. I was newly married, and at work. Within a matter of minutes of arriving to work, it seemed like we all spent the rest of the day with our eyes bulging from tears, our mouths a-gasp at what we were seeing broadcast on the news.  The iPhone hadn’t been invented yet, and not many phones had cameras, (hard to imagine, right). I immediately called my husband, he hadn’t heard yet. “We must pray” I told him. What else could we do, BUT PRAY. My heart was incredibly distraught, and to this day I cry just thinking about the horrendous loss.

September 11th 2001, a day that we will never forget.

"I love how she was organized and created a perfectly orchestrated timeline for our wedding. She made my OCD heart pitter patter!!!
 I couldn’t be more thankful for her talent and beautiful heart.
Stalking her Instagram page was the best decision I ever made!!! I’m forever indebted to Mrs. Erica, my forever friend."  -  Marissa
