Bethany Murphy: Chad and Jamie ~ Wedding

This post is long overdue! I adore this wedding and this couple :) Jamie holds such a special place in my heart and this was such an exciting wedding to be a part of! My friendship with Jamie is something that I cannot even completely explain. We met in the most random of ways three years ago... on myspace... she lives in WA and I live in CA and after becoming good friends online we found out that Jamie is my brother in law's cousin! Not only that, but she even came to my house after my sister was married like 8 years ago! It was one of those moments that I will never forget. We were both in shock to find out we were somewhat related. I know that she and I are supposed to be friends! We have been through so much together in the past three years. Once again, something I can't completely explain :) All I know is that I would not have missed being in Washington for her wedding for just about any reason.

Watching Jamie and Chad's relationship grow has been so exciting for me. They started out as really good friends and it slowly turned into this amazing love for one another. I actually did not get to meet Chad until I flew in the week of the wedding, but man they have an incredible relationship! I knew it was different when Jamie and I would talk, but actually getting to be around them was such a wonderful thing to experience! I will never forget Jamie texting me and telling me to call her right away. I called her back and when she answered I screamed "YOU GOT ENGAGED!!!" before any words could come out of her mouth :) He he I love her so much! It has been such a blessing being her friend and experiencing so much of life together, even while living in separate states.

Jamie and Chad thank you so much for allowing me to celebrate with the two of you! I could not be more excited or happy to see how much you two love one another. Jamie, thank you for being my friend and of course cousin ;) Thank you for remaining my friend through the ups and downs. I know we will be friends forever and I thank God for placing you in my life. It is still the most bizarre and crazy thing I have been through!
