From the time I was a little girl, I've dreamed of my wedding day. As a photographer, I have been to countless weddings. I've seen the perfect flower arrangements, I have my soundtrack memorized, and of course know what my perfect cake would look like. I even went and found my perfect wedding dress. I know the dos and don'ts. How to handle the Dramatic family members and the Bride's having their meltdowns and even how to prepare for "wardrobe malfunctions". So when it came time for my day I knew exactly what I wanted...
But instead this happened...
My dress is from Gabriel Brothers, Flip Flops from Old Navy, and Bill's Tie is from Walmart.
4 weeks to the Day of meeting each other, we said I Do.
No big Ceremony and No DJ.
Tonight I went to one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been too. It was Gorgeous down to the Tee. I walked into the reception and I jokingly said to the bride, "It's hard for me to be happy for you, because it's too amazing here".
I cried at the father daughter dance. I watched the Love between Kayla and Marc. Enjoyed the incredible food, and wondered if Bill and I would ever have our Dream Ceremony.
Heading home, exhausted from the days events, listening to my childrens screaming in the back seat. I was thankful. We didn't have tuxes or gown or perfect cake, but it was perfect for us.
We didn't have the most perfect Ceremony, but we have a great Marriage.
And it may not be the most romantic Love story, but it's our story.
It's my Favorite Story.
