Freedom Friday...The Notebook

One of amazing Event Coordinators, Pariss Coleman, wrote today's blog based on the wonderful meeting, The Notebook.  An awesome movie about our favorite topic...Love.  Thanks Pariss!


Why we love The Notebook

The Notebook, based on the novel be Nicholas Sparks, debuted in 2004 staring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. It’s one of those movies that you just have to see and if you have yet to see this film you are truly missing out. The Notebook is about our favorite topic, l-o-v-e. The connection between the couple in this movie was undeniable and something that many of us fantasize about. There are tons of reasons why we absolutely adore The Notebook, but here are our top three.

1.  Real Love
Noah and Allie were madly in love. Throughout the film, their love for one another grew and their bond was so close that nothing could come between them. Noah looked at Allie as if the entire world revolved around her and Allie was in love with everything about her relationship with Noah. This is what we all dream of one day finding, that one person who means the world to us. Everyone wants to find that one person in the world that understands and makes you feel complete. The characters in this film had that and more and for those of us who have yet to find that companion, it’s nice to see it exist in this film.

2.  What is Meant to be Will Be
Every relationship goes through it’s ups and downs and Noah and Allie were no exception. Despite their obstacles, they still found a way to stay close. I’m sure many of you wonder if the one that got a way will ever return, or if you will one day rekindle an old flame. But this film shows us that whatever is meant to me will be. No matter what your current relationship situation is, go with the flow. Take everything easy and let things happen naturally. The key is to remember to stay true to ourselves first and foremost and let everything else fall into place. You will know if you’re with “the one” and if you haven’t figured it out yet, don’t worry....that person will find you eventually. Love is patient.

3.  Happily Ever After
We’ve all seen movies that end like a fairytale but never like this. In an attempt not to spoil it for the people who have never seen The Notebook, just remember to keep tissues nearby. A lot of people enjoy happily ever afters and some do not. People who are indifferent towards happily ever afters may feel that way because the odds are slim to none. Think about it, how many “happily ever after” stories do you know that weren’t featured on the big screen? But after getting so wrapped up into this film, trust me, it won’t even matter. You will find yourself in love with the idea of love as well as this beautiful movie.



The Notebook is all about eternal love and reminds of how beautiful it is to be passionately in love with someone. Everything about the film made it simply magical, from the acting to the scenery and the fact that Ryan Gosling is one fine man. If you’re a fan of The Notebook, make it a movie this weekend! If you’re seen it before, maybe watch it with your boyfriend but remind him that it’s okay to cry. Ladies if you’re spending time with your girls this weekend, make it a girls night and keep those tissues handy. :-)
