I think Stymie from the Little Rascals said it best when he said, “You only meet a once in a lifetime friend…once in a lifetime.” For me, Emily is that friend. Our history is full of ups and downs, boys and breakups, laughs and ridiculous adventures, and all of the typical things you’d think would happen to teenage to twenty-something girls.

Emily went to teach at the Nativity School of Worcester after college, where she lived with her co-workers in a house called Casa Maria. Luckily for all of us, Joel lived in the room down the hall. Judging by the engagement shoot, I’m sure you can all tell where this story goes…

I couldn’t be happier for these two. Their love is so natural and genuine and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect best friend for my best friend.

Enjoy!
