boy meets girl.girl meets boy.they fall in love,say I do,and live happily ever after.it's what ever girl dreams about since they are young...but you know what?...sometimes, life is a little more colorful than that...sometimes you get stuck on the first two lines a few times before you find THE one.and you know what?I think that is what made this day even more special...even more sweeter to watch unfold...getting to hear about nathan + maria's journey to find each other more than onceonly to find a deeper, more soul-complete-ing love was nothing short of absolutely special on this day.their beautifully woven story permeated every single romantic detail of their wedding...from the beautifully, delicate + incredibly intricate dress...to the overflowing and lush florals,to the warm wood of the venue and reception that just seemed to perfectly translate their easy and comfortable love for each other,to the way he saw her for the first time...his face just full of joy and happiness...to the gentle way she would dip her head somewhat shyly when he went to whisper in her ear...to the toasts from friends + family laughing and tearing up at how obvious their story was directed by God to be together,to the full-of-life and joy dance floor as their loved ones surrounded them with love and celebrated their happily ever after...yes, this was a most special day...thank you, nathan + maria for allowing elizabeth and Ia most beautiful glimpse into the very beginning of your happily ever after.Second Photographer: elizabeth ann photography - the ying to my yang, the wind beneath my wings ;) my yess. :)Venue: shenandoah millBridal Gown: schaffer's bridalBridesmaids Dresses: anthropologieFlowers + Vintage Rental Company: something old, something olderCake + Cupcakes: melinda's dessertsCatering: joe's real BBQDJ: felixico
