After witnessing over 100+ weddings, there’s one word that comes to mind when I think about everything a wedding weekend embodies: surrounded.
Surrounded by the people who know the couple best. By the love of those who couldn’t be there, but whose presence is still felt. Surrounded by generations of stories, by joy that fills a room, and by the people who have walked alongside them to this very moment.
And maybe that’s one of the most beautiful parts of a wedding. It’s not just about two people coming together, but everyone who has played a part in their story.
To be surrounded by so much love. What a gift.
