I can’t say there are many brides I would be overly happy to drive through the night to get to. I love my sleep. I love it a lot. But when I meet Lauralee & Matt I knew they were worth driving over night, swimming across an ocean, and hiking up a hill both ways in the snow to get to their wedding. Luckily, I didn’t have to do all of those things but it sure would have been worth it.

This couple swept in my life and stole my heart. Wholly and completely.

I have always been the kind of person who is afraid to show my emotions. For some reason, I prefer to give off a “big and bad” attitude. haha. I dunno why, maybe a middle child thing, nothing can get me down. I am non-emotional. But seeing how Lauralee was so unafraid to show her emotion and love for her husband made me feel so warm. It made me feel like it is ok to be emotional and to let people see my happiness… through other ways that just squealing all the time.

This couple is going to rock this world. They are going to be one who is an example to everyone around them…. no pressure you two. haha. But just showing how you love each other makes people around you find the same kind of love… it is pure and genuine.

I love your love. And I am honored to have witnessed it.

When Lauralee got to the end of her aisle, and reached her groom… she busted out, “I am just so happy” haha. I don’t think I have ever had a bride that was just so full of joy they physically couldn’t contain it anymore. This moment may be my single favorite ceremony moment ever. I love it. 

Lauralee singing her favorite song… “You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin” This was the moment I KNEW that loved her…. that and when she said Dolly Parton was her favorite. 

Sorry Lauralee… I just had to…. haha….

Happy Monday everyone!

Be Happy and Love each other,
