I am beyond thrilled to be sharing the wedding of this couple on the blog today! Wade & Ali’s wedding at The Legends of Brandybrook last weekend was simply so life-giving! Absolutely NOTHING could rain on the joy of Wade & Ali’s wedding day — not even the rain itself!!!!

Wade & Ali have been together since their freshman year of high school. After being together for nearly a decade, not only is their relationship deeply rooted in friendship and family but Wade & Ali have a contagious happiness that surrounds the lives they touch! From the moment I arrived at Ali’s home in the morning, there was an energy present created of pure bliss… the room was filled with women who were genuinely overjoyed about this marriage & had nothing but incredible words of support for their friend. At one point, Ali’s Mom leaned over to me and said, “You have the coolest job, don’t you? You get to spend time with people on the happiest day of their lives.” She is SO right and this wedding day was filled with more happiness than I can express!!!

Throughout the ceremony at St. Dominic’s Church, Ali & Wade would exchange the sweetest looks with each other — it was like a magnetic force that kept bringing their eyes back to the other! Shortly after the service, we headed to Retzer Nature Center for bridal party pictures and the moment we arrived to our photo location, the skies opened and rain poured down. Normally, heavy rain on your wedding day would send a bride & groom into a state of panic but Ali & Wade (+ the entire wedding party) laughed through the whole experience… we broke out the umbrellas and stood outside as the rain came down harder but it truly didn’t matter! Ali & Wade were just so happy to be married that nothing was going to bother them — I love it!!!!

Ali & Wade, I can’t begin to tell you how blessed you both are to have found a partner as special as the other. Your relationship is so refreshing & truly an example for others to follow! Thank you for welcoming me in to your family on your wedding day and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store! Xo

I just loved the way Ali’s Mom watched her all morning!

That JUST MARRIED joy!!!

Y’all have never made the rain look so good!!!!
