“Confessions Of A Future Bride” | Post 14
If you are new to the blog and are just following along, here’s what you missed:
Rachel, my business partner/assistant/second shooter, recently got engaged and being photographers, thought it would be cool document her whole wedding planning process. Not only to keep these memories but to maybe help out one of our readers who may be a future bride as well as get suggestions from you guys. Here are the past posts that you’ve missed.

Post 8 ~ We are back at Davids Bridal picking out the Bridesmaids Dresses as well as seeing who she chose to stand up there with her on the big day!!
Post 9, Post 10, Post 11, Post 12, and Post 13 ~This is where Rachel introduces her bridesmaids and tells us the background stories of how she knows them. There are some pretty funny moments and awesome pictures! Today she ends with her final bridesmaid -ME!
“Last, but certainly not least, in the bridesmaid series is my sister {in-law}, Erica. Erica isn’t my sister-in-law, she is simply my sister.
Erica and my brother, David, begin dating when {I believe} I was in eighth grade. I remember meeting Erica outside of my middle school. I don’t know when or how it happened, but Erica and I became inseparable. My freshman year and Erica’s senior year of high school, we were both at Valley Central together. We arranged our schedules to have lunch and a few electives together.. Like our parenting class.. And in parenting, Erica and I became mothers to our little baby chick, Nevaeh.. I just have to let you guys know that Erica picked the name {That was her favorite name at the time.. I will not embarrass myself and tell you what my favorite name was :)}
When David and Erica became engaged, Erica asked me to be her Maid of Honor. At sixteen years old, I stood beside two of my best friends as they were wed.. And Erica officially became part of the Freitas Family {Lucky girl 🙂 } But as I recall, in my speech I said something along the lines of ..Erica today you officially become part of our family, but you were already a part of our family.. And it’s true, when asked I say I have three sisters {There is no need to include the in-law part}
So let’s fast forward a few years to Erica deciding to begin a photography business. I told Erica to show me her ways and I’ll join her in the adventure.. We heard from people that it’s not good to go into business with friends and family, that it can cause problems and be very tricky.. But I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Erica and I provide the perfect balance to each other and have so much fun while working together.
Erica, you are the yin to my yang: my sister, a best friend and my business partner. I have to thank David for falling in love you with on the school bus and bringing you into my life 🙂 Here’s to many, many more adventures together as both our families and business grow! Love you more than words can say!”
