In her toast, Kinzel’s maid of honor said that Kinzel is very lucky as she has 3 best friends, 2 of whom could not be there that day. She shared some sweet words from them before her own well wishes.

One best friend said, “Arinjay you’re a very lucky person. She has done everything to deserve nothing less than you for her life partner and for her love story. Listening to her feelings about him, it was like music to our ears.”

And from the maid of honor: “Kinzel I have known you in many forms. A roommate, a bench mate, a classmate, a best friend. I’ve seen you as a daughter, a sister, but to be able to see you as a bride today — it’s been a great honor.”

She wrapped it up with a quote from Friends, that I of course have to share!! “Kinzel, the Rachel to my Monica, you finally found your lobster! To her and her lobster, guys!” 🦞

It’s well known in their group of friends that Arinjay likes to talk. It once worked in his favor to avoid a fight, and instead he chatted up the other side and became friends with him. All thanks to his love of talking!

“Arinjay is a man of many talents. He’s an excellent yoga teacher. He’s an OK chef. He’s terrible at flute. But the most important quality he has is loyalty — a very deep sense of loyalty to his friends, to his family, to the people around him.”

He wrapped up with some good wishes. “I see two people who are deeply in love, and I’m pretty sure your love will grow deeper with time. Cheers to both of you.”

Kinzel + Arinjay, I had the best afternoon with you and your fun and energetic group of friends! The day was gorgeous and I couldn’t wipe my smile off my face! Best wishes for a long and happy marriage! <3
