When I got married, I didn’t want a perfect Pinterest wedding. I wanted something sacred and that felt like us.

We didn’t have just one ceremony. We had three, in two countries, each one different and deeply meaningful.

Just the two of us and two close friends. Over lunch at our favorite restaurant, we quietly exchanged vows and signed a self-uniting license. It was intimate, intentional, and completely private.

A week later, we gathered our families at a beach house. We wrote our own bilingual ceremony, made all the florals by hand, and used flowers flown in from Ecuador, my homeland. It was imperfect, handmade, and full of heart.

A year later, we celebrated again, this time with more guests, a planner, and a joyful party in my hometown. It honored tradition, family, and the land that raised me.

Across these three moments, one thing held me steady: journaling. Writing helped me tune out expectations and stay connected to what truly mattered.

That’s why I created this journal: for you. To remind you that your wedding can be a reflection of your heart, not just tradition. A sacred threshold shaped by your own love, wisdom, and truth.
