Recently while scrolling through Facebook Reesl, I came across a beautiful bride over 60 who excitedly said “I Do” after waiting for love for decades. While many people commented that this gave them hope, I was struck by all the negative comments bashing this bride’s choice to get married and have the wedding of her dreams. Read on for my thoughts.

Hello Darling!

As I sit down to pen this letter, my heart brims with memories of a recent encounter that left an indelible mark on my soul. I stumbled upon a beautiful reel on Facebook, showcasing the radiant smile of a bride whose love story unfolded gracefully before our eyes. Yet, amidst the celebration of her journey down the aisle, I couldn't help but notice the discordant notes echoing in the comments section.

To all the brides who have gracefully navigated the twists and turns of life, I want you to know that your love story is worthy of celebration, regardless of age. Elegance knows no boundaries—it transcends the constraints of societal expectations and embraces the essence of individuality.

You see, I've walked down the aisle myself, not once, but twice. My journey, much like yours, has been adorned with both tears and laughter, triumphs and tribulations. And through it all, I've come to realize that love is a universal language, spoken fluently by hearts that dare to dream.

Your wedding day should be a reflection of your love story—a celebration of the journey that brought you to this moment, and the promise of a future filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures. So, don't let the naysayers dim the sparkle in your eyes or dampen the beat of your heart.

Embrace your uniqueness, dear brides, and let your love shine bright. Whether you choose an intimate ceremony at the courthouse or a lavish affair under the stars, know that your love is worthy of celebration, today and always.

Beauty has no age - it only gets better with time.

In closing, remember this: ALL brides deserve to celebrate the way they and their partners choose. Your love story is worth celebrating, so make it as grand as you want. And as for the wedding dress? Wear it proudly, dear brides, for it is a symbol of your love, your dreams, and the beauty of love, ageless and eternal.

Blissfully Yours,

Dani Simone
