First off, thanks to everyone who followed me on this journey for the past two years. You all have been amazing support and made the planning process so much more fun.

Seriously, thank you.

I wish I could start this by saying my husband and I met while grabbing for the same piece of Kingdom Hearts merchandise or our entire relationship was based off the love of the game. But to be perfectly honest, the most we ever did was a puzzle together in Japan.

In actuality, we were just two people who couldn’t decide on colors and I proposed that a theme wedding would be the easiest to coordinate. So I just started listing every little thing we shared a love for and once it came to Kingdom Hearts my husband responded, “I could do a beach wedding.”

But after spending two years planning this wedding I’ve rediscovered the very reason I fell love with this franchise. Despite its plots, it’s a beautiful game with beautiful music and messages of love and friendship. It was the first game I ever fell in love with and it was so fitting to celebrate it with the first man who ever captured my heart.

Of course, we styled ourselves after Sora and Kairi. I wanted to keep it subtle though. My husband was represented by his red tie and keyblade boutonniere while I was represented by my bouquet that I based off Kairi’s keyblade: Destiny’s Embrace. We added the beargrass heart for extra points.

I kind of took the “Hearts” motif a little more literally when it came to my shoes and accessories. My hair was supposed to be a heart shaped bun as well but it didn’t show as well as I hoped. But it turned out beautifully anyways.

The keyblade was made by @aimeewoodworks who’s name you’ll probably see a lot. I want to make sure she’s properly credited for one of the biggest parts of our wedding.
