Distance makes the heart grow fonder, they say.
Planning a wedding is the test of the relationship (thus far), they say.
But, what do you say?…
When everything you’ve known turns for the happier.
When your dreams come true right before your eyes.
When she walks down the aisle and tears stream down uncontrollably.
When you hear his heartbeat.
Your husband’s heartbeat…
There aren’t words.
There are only moments stuffed with feelings.
It’s the story of powerful, contagious love.
And the wedding day is just chapter one.
Congratulations Cody & Katie!
(Listen while you scroll: Their First Dance song)
Together, finally.
“When I wake up, well I know I’m gonna be,
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you…”
(First dance song: I’m Gonna Be 500 Miles – Sleeping at Last)
Your favorite people gather.
Toast are given in your honor and laughs spread all around.
Dinner jazz softly plays & lights begin to twinkle.
The sun sets & you couldn’t be more in love even if you tried.
(these romantics, I mean, how do you even decide favorites?!)
Dear Cody & Katie —
We are humbled to have been a part of such a significant day in your lives. Long distance is crazy, but you two persevered. You love so well & your example of putting the other person first was truly beautiful to witness. Thank you for inviting us into your love story, for adventuring through ravines for your engagement session, for keeping what really matters at the heart of your wedding day: each other. As we both know, you’ll never not see each other again and wow, how beautiful that really is. Cherish it. And congratulations once again! The best is here…and yet to come! **all the confetti**
Love,
–Tara & Stephen
