The day started with nerves. The kind that make your hands tingle and force you to anxiously bounce from one toe to the other. It doesn’t help that certain elements of your day don’t start off exactly the way you plan (like with your makeup artist forgetting your appointment?!), but you don’t give that a second thought. You are fixated on the moment when you will see each other for the first time that day and how sweet it will be. But for now, the nerves persist.
The walk down to your partner, friend, lover, future wife is probably the longest and the most exciting. The expressions you have are immeasurable. Years of joy, anticipation, love, excitement are unfolding in those thirty seconds of your first look and you want to revel in it. Hold on to it and keep that look in your mind for the rest of your life. This moment makes it real. It’s no longer a dream, a vision for the future nestled inside your mind – it’s actually happening.
Amanda and Lauren – SO. MUCH. LOVE. We don’t think there is a place that would be big enough to hold the affection that was emanating from 100+ of your family and friends gathered in that room when you took your vows and exchanged your rings. Every person heard it, applauded you silently, and widely smiled to share that feeling. It grew tenfold and immersed everyone in it.
Your story smote our hearts. When you smiled, our hearts were a little bit more happy and full. At the end of the night we walked away thankful for having crossed paths with two beautiful souls. Your celebration was one we were honored to be a part of! Thank you both!
