Perfectly Captured

As we walked into Kathy and Jakes home to see our wedding photos for the first time I was full of anticipation and excitement. My mom, Andre, the kids and I headed up stairs for the official viewing. Only Kathy and Jake would set up a mini theatre, projector, couches, music and all! Ok so we all know that there was no doubt we would have amazing images, there was never a question about that. These are not just pictures they are emotions and moments in time captured forever. As I watched each frame I was able to feel those exact feelings, the way the wind felt, how fast my heart was beating, the deep breath of pure joy when we were pronounced husband and wife, the realization of the real meaning of this day. These amazing people put their heart and soul into every shot, looking deeper then just what the end result of each individual picture would be, capturing the entire story. They know our story, our joy and pain, truly how big this day really was. Kathy, Jake, and Aaron I cannot thank you enough for giving us this gift that we will have forever. Our kids will be able to re-experience a day in their lives that with age will become more and more meaningful. Just knowing that as a family we have each beautiful moment and emotion to look back on, reflect, talk about how lucky we are, and remember how truly blessed we are. You dug deep on this day and it is so obvious when you get to see the masterpiece of the whole story one frame at a time. We love you and hope that on this day you were able to feed your own souls through being a part of it.

As I look at pictures and write thank you notes I have reflected back on our wedding day so much. I cannot believe how perfect it really did turn out. The only thing that could have made the day any better would have been to have my dad there. Even though he was not physically there I did feel his presence all day long, I know he was there in spirit. The sense of peace and true joy that I was able to have made me positive that he was a part of the entire day. From the moment I opened my eyes the morning of the wedding it was surreal. There I was surrounded by everyone I love the most in this world, getting ready to marry my soul mate. My life is so full of angels, literally you all know who you are and you touch my soul on a daily basis.

It is difficult to describe how much of a fairytale this day was for us. It was more then I ever dreamt of, and all that I ever hoped for. I am so excited to continue on this journey. I am married to a man who is honorable, loyal, has a huge heart, and who loves the kids and I more then I ever knew was possible. I know that we will have our ups and downs throughout our lives but I am not scared for any of it. What we have is unique and we Cherish it, we understand that we have been given a gift in one another. On our wedding day we made the choice to dedicate our lives to making sure we always communicate and support each other in our dreams as a family and as individuals. The road ahead is one that I am looking forward to in every way.

I had planned to put a bunch of pictures up with this post but every time I try it is telling me there has been a bad request Error 400. What the hell does that mean anyway??? Either way I will try again in a bit. Seems cruel to write about how amazing all the pics are then just tease you with 3 of em :) Stay tuned for more of the story.
