The New York Times shared this adorable story of a groom and bridesmaid who worked together to make sure the bride had her best friend's presence at her wedding. Her husband-to-be took the initiative to research ways his wife's friend could show up anyway, and her friend stayed up at midnight to record for the special event. 💒👰

I thought this was such a sweet story with high-value, compassionate people all-around. They were resourceful, taking advantage of cutting-edge tech, all so they could enjoy this special day. Reading this story made me hopeful for my own future -- I hope one day I can find a HVM and a HVW as a best friend who would put forth the same amount of effort for me!🥺💖

I thought you guys might like it too, as a source of inspiration or just a reminder that you CAN find wonderful people who will work hard to make you happy (though of course, it can be argued that this wasn't even hard work, since when you love someone, you're happy to go the extra mile to make them smile). Basically, sometimes I feel a little disappointed in other people and the world, so stories like this lift me up and give me hope! 🤞
