It’s the International Day of Friendship, so we’re celebrating it the best way we know how: with real wedding moments that show what friendship really looks like. The glasses clinking. The veils fluffed. The smudges wiped away. The emotion of watching your best friend walk down the aisle. The pre-wedding hype crew who show up with love, laughter, and lash glue. This is friendship in all its wedding-day magic. Want to see more of a moment? Drop the couple’s name in the comments and we’ll send you their wedding story. Intro video by Cottonbro Studio. Full credits in comments. [Reel description: A video of women dancing against a white backdrop holding bouquets of flowers. The words “This Is Friendship” are overlaid.
