ara + Garrett

Incredible.

We pulled into Sara's parents house where the girls were getting ready. There was wedding decorations outside the house to get everyone into wedding mode. As we walked in we hear girls giggling, the smell of hair spray, and many smiling faces greeting us. Sara was so so giddy, like I've never seen any bride be. She was full of vibrant life and excitement. She kept saying "I get to married Garret today!!"

*with a squeal

over and over. With her Starbucks cup in hand, that said "Bride", she was getting ready to be Garrett's bride forever. As she got her dress on everyone had to hold back tears of joy because...

"SARA WAS GETTING MARRIED TO GARRETT TODAY!"

We headed off to do the First Look. Sara waiting in the car. We took Garrett back to the spot where he would see his bride for the first time. Sara headed down the path to see her Groom. She took off his blind fold and the look on both of their faces was priceless pure joy is the only way I can describe it. I believe that is truly what God intended for Husband and Wife to find in each other.

The ceremony was God-honoring, emotional and overflowing with tears of laughter and joy. Even though they got rained out and had to move the ceremony to the Barn, Sara and Garrett didn't let it put a damper on their day or their mood--high spirits the entire day. Oh, and the bridal party was fantastic helpers, seriously, the best I've seen.

Garrett + Sara and are like two peas in a pod. I know that's kinda corny but they are. They just match. They rhyme well. Mesh perfectly. They are each other's God-send.

Oh and yes, every detail of this wedding was particular and unique. Sara you had an amazingly-beautiful wedding. Check out their first dance too--incredible.

Justin + Erin

Being loved by someone gives you strength,

while loving someone

deeply gives you courage.

-Lao Tzu

It is neat to see the different couples God sends my way. Erin was home schooled and from a large family just like me. I think it made us kindred Spirits (as

Anne of Green Gables

would say). She also reminded me of

Anne of Green Gables

in her looks. She isn't talkative and dramatic like

Anne,

but she is quiet, caring and very sweet. The whole day she kept asking us if we were doing ok and if we needed anything (even though it was HER wedding day). Selfless.

Justin & Erin compliment each other so perfectly. They love each other deeply and are confident in what they have together, the kind of confidants that last forever. They are best friends and know how to laugh and have fun together (even on their wedding day they were

carefree

and just really really enjoyed each other. They didn't rush things--they soaked it all in).

I don't think I've ever seen so much family at one wedding. I could see how loved and how important they are to so many people.

(Ohhhh yes, and they square danced!).
