[Growing up, I always imagined I would be getting married to early 2000's teen idol and gay icon, Hilary Duff. So you could understand my shock today to see you at the end of the aisle and not her. This week I was doing research into Hilary Duff's famed character Lizzie McGuire. In hopes to find some cute connection between you two and in the end say, "thought Hilary Duff isn't here I still have you". But, that's when I made the shocking discovery that I am Lizzie McGuire.
Now hear me out, like her, I'm a bit eccentric, I wear one too many accessories, I'm constantly getting into trouble, and I am a bit fearful of the world and my own path. That's when I made the even more shocking discovery, that while Lizzie McGuire was lost in this crazy world, making mistakes and getting into trouble. She had one constant by her side to help her find her peace and her happiness in life. Her slightly shorter than her, much more hairy, creative, level headed, bad dad joke making, loving, Jewish, best friend Gordo.
Spoiler, they end up together in the end. My whole life I was searching for my Lizzie McGuire, when really I should have been searching for my Gordo. Now I know you're probably as shocked as everyone else sitting here that my vows are so much about Hilary Duff. But, as her iconic chart topping single What Dreams are Made Of says, I've got somewhere to belong. I've got somebody to love. This is what dreams are made of. As cheesy-]
