I attended the wedding of a joyful, young couple on Sunday.  Here are my favorite "snapshots":

  • The groom had a special handshake or hug for each of his groomsmen as they met him at the front of the room.
  • When the groom saw his bride, his eyes shone and filled with happy tears.
  • The groom took the bride's hands and didn't let them go through the entire ceremony.
  • The couple raced down the aisle after the ceremony, in a moment of pure joy.
  • The bride heartily greeted and hugged every guest.
  • The bride's father, the bride's sister and the groom's brother gave heartfelt, amazing speeches.
  • We enjoyed delicious food & snacks.
  • We smushed four of us into a photo booth for fun pictures.
  • The bride's family stormed the dance floor in some inflatable panda costumes!
What an amazing day of love, fun and laughter.

  1. My young adult daughter just went to a wedding, and one of the things that made an impression on her was that each of the groomsmen had a fist bump, hand shake, or hug for the groom. Interesting because I had never seen that. I love that validation of friendship and commitment to the relationship! I love how you recapped the wedding with simple but meaningful events!
