"Melinda, I'm so thankful we met, it was truly meant to be. Your work ethic is beyond words. You think of the things I could never imagine, and you have made all of this happen for us. We will be forever grateful for you and your support at this time in our lives. I absolutely know this won't be the last event we do together, you are by far my go-to girl and also amazing friend. To any bride, if they don't have a Melinda, they may as well not bother at all, hahaha. Thank you again for everything from the bottom of my heart, you are INCREDIBLE. "
