Six years ago, Vanessa made a critical mistake and told me, "If we weren't best friends, I would date you." In that moment, I decided to respond to her with 5 words that changed our lives, "Let's give it a shot." We had already been best friends for almost a year, and it just felt right. A month into "giving it a shot," Vanessa and I knew we would spend the rest of our lives together. Today, we ask you to join us in celebrating our wedding. The past six years have brought countless laughs, a few trips, many meals, cold beers, great wines, and amazing friends. The past six years have been so special in no small part because we have gotten the opportunity to share them with each and every one of you. We want to thank you for playing such an important role in our lives, and we hope that the rest of our lives are even better than the previous six years. #SaidYesToCortes -Herzen
