Hey guys, my sister’s design is on the cover of a really big magazine! You should all go like her company page, White Lotus Productions, especially if you live in the California area and like pictures of pretty parties :D

I came across this picture from a friend of mine’s wedding and thought it was really cute. I want to ride away in a car like that too.

Well, when I first met Brooke Davis she had no idea who I was. Of course everyone knew who she was, she was the most popular girl in school. She was head cheerleader, annoyingly pretty, still is. And I used to wonder back then, “What would it be like to be friends with Brooke? Would she make me popular? Would all the boys start asking me out?” And then one night, I got to hang out with Brooke, all night. And oh, she didn’t like my name though, so she decided she was going to give me a name that uh, she did like, which ended up being Brooke. And from that moment, I knew that I wanted Brooke to be my friend. Not because she was going to make me popular, and not because boys would start asking me out, but because I got a glimpse of the real Brooke. A girl with the biggest heart that I have ever known. And you know, when you’re in high school, it’s not very easy to let people see who you really are. I could see it though, it was in the eyes. So we became friends, and now she’s my best friend. We’ve been through so much together over the years, and our friendship is still growing. So I know that your friendship and love for Julian will continue to grow, every year, for the rest of your lives. And I feel so lucky to be a part of that. I love you Brooke Davis.

J.K. Rowling once wrote, “The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.” J.K. Rowling was right, but what most of you don’t know is, Julian was able to do it. He knew, a long time ago, that he would find Brooke. When Julian was my age, which was a very, very, very, very, very long time ago, he went to a county fair, and he met a girl. Not Brooke, but they went on a bunch of rides together, including the Octopus; irrelevant to the story. But that night, Julian felt a crush for the first time; a real crush. Relax Aunt Brooke, he was my age. So at the end of the night, they decided to break this bumper car token in half. Julian has kept his half all these years. Not because he missed the girl, but because he knew, somewhere out there, was the other half; his perfect match. And he was right. Today, Julian married my Aunt Brooke. She’s probably the coolest girl I know, and the girl Julian’s been waiting for since he broke this bumper car token in half, a long time ago, at a county fair. And today, Julian gave me this token. He said he didn’t need it any more because he found his other half. Congratulations Julian, I think it was worth the wait.

Brooke, before I met you, I thought my world had everything I needed to be happy. I had nothing else to compare it to. Then you walked into my life and everything changed. I realized how empty my world was without you in it. And my old life was no longer capable of making me happy, not without you. I love everything about you Brooke. I love the way you challenge me, like no one ever has. I love the way you look at me, like no one ever has. And I love the way you love me, like no one ever has. I can’t imagine spending my life without you. And if you say yes to me in a few minutes, I won’t have to. You look beautiful by the way.

Julian, before I met you, my world revolved around one thing: me. And I liked it that way, on my own. But then I met you, and you saw through the facade. You saw me. You’ve taught me to trust, how to let someone in, and what it truly means to fall in love. I can’t possibly describe how much I love you, so I’ll tell you why I love you. You see the world in a way that no one else does. And you appreciate everything, including me. There’s no one in the world like you. And if you say yes in a few minutes, I’ll get to spend the rest of my life trying to see the world through your eyes. Appreciating everything, including you; the most unique, wonderful, and terribly handsome man I’ve ever met.

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores 
Wedded by the planet force
We’ve both been spoken for

One Tree Hill truly is one of the most beautifully crafted shows on television these days. I find the simplest things Mark Schwahn does to be the most wonderful. Take the opening scene of tonight’s episode; we are presented with a flashback of a young Brooke, the girl behind the red door. You see a longing, a want, to find true love in this little girl’s eyes. Then, when it comes time for Brooke to finally walk down the aisle for herself, we see her in front of a red backdrop once again. Except this time, the girl is all grown up, walking away from the red, and walking towards the man she had been waiting for. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I thought this moment was just pure magic. This show evokes such an emotion in me; and to see the passion and the care for even the smallest detail the cast and crew put into it, it just makes the show so much more rewarding to watch.
