It was an honor to be part of there special day!

At the beginning of July, I received an email from Courtney that her health had taken a sudden turn and she was going in for brain surgery next week. I expected the email to continue on with a proposed new wedding date, since she was due to tie the knot to her fiancé in August. But this wasn't the case. She and William planned to keep their wedding date, and just hope for the best.

I was in utter shock when I received this email, along with the other vendors. I had never shot a wedding with someone five weeks post-op, let alone major brain surgery. I didn't know what to expect, but I did some research, hoping to make things as comfortable, stress-free, and easy for her as possible.

In all honesty, none of this research was necessary, since Courtney has Will. Her biggest cheerleader, caretaker, and confident. This man is rock solid, like granite. He took over the wedding plans, meeting with all of the vendors, making sure everything was perfect for his bride as she rested and recovered. As he said to me yesterday: "All that matters is that Courtney is happy." And let me tell you, you couldn't wipe the smile off of her face yesterday. Through double vision and a lazy eye, Courtney smiled, laughed, and danced from the moment we walked into her getting ready suite to the time I clocked out at 10:00pm. She made sure to celebrate her life yesterday.

Watching Will navigate the last five weeks and their wedding yesterday demonstrated one thing to me: their relationship is built to last and will stand the test of time. He truly loves his bride and would do anything for her.

And brain surgery was just one of the many, many wild rides the universe had in store for these two. They bought their first home together this summer, but Courtney hasn't been able to enjoy it just yet since it's not post-op ready. Will had to handle the move alone. They lost their family dog this week, just days before their wedding. I don't think anyone had dry eyes in the reception when Courtney's dad revealed that he made a deal with God in the hospital shortly after her surgery that he could take their family dog if it meant that Courtney was kept safe and alive. And Will suddenly lost his sister, Kara, exactly one year to the date, before their wedding. And there's more. There's so much more. Including vendor hiccups the day before their nuptials. But these two rolled with every punch the universe threw at them, and did so with such grace and humility.

Yesterday put everything into perspective. It doesn't matter what your wedding dress looks like. It doesn't matter if your hair falls flat from the humidity, or if it rains. It doesn't matter if the limo is late or just doesn't show at all. All that matters is that you're marrying the love of your life. You're here. You're alive. And you are oh so loved. And that's all you need to be grateful for. In the end, nothing else matters.

Courtney and Will, I am in absolute awe of you both. Your strength, your resilience, your courage. You two are endgame.

Wishing you endless health, happiness, and laughter. Now, go buy lottery tickets, because your luck has to change!
