THEIR BEGINNING:

She fell in love when she realized how kind and loving he was. He fell in love walking home in the rain, after a baseball game. He didn’t feel the downpour soaking through his clothes; he felt the fireworks in his heart. He new she deserved to be spoiled so he sent her off for a spa day one day. When she returned home, there he was, surrounded by the ambiance of candles and balloons that read, “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” Not only did she get the surprise of a lifetime, but she was also stunned that her closest family and friends were present and not one person spilled the beans!

THEIR WEDDING DAY:

Their winter wedding was full of sweet giggles and gentle touches. J+I were so romantic with each other. J gazed at his radiant bride, arrayed in her beaded Wona wedding dress and draping bouquet of white roses and white anemones. The admiration went both ways. The small moments they shared together were adorable. I was there but I wasn’t; only they existed in their world. That is up until their ceremony. Saying, “I do”, and watching the reactions of their family and friends were their most memorable moments of their wedding day. They were overjoyed to be sharing their solidification as one, with the people that mean the world to them. Since they were having a winter wedding, they weren’t going to leave the wonderland part to chance–they brought the snow with them! During their first dance, they had an evaporative snow machine drop snow on them. It made for such a romantic winter wedding moment!
