Christmas weddings. How I love the Christmas lights, the joy in the air and Christmas couples. This one in particular was a wedding I looked forward to, because Steve and Lauren are friends as well as clients. I had a secret hope in my heart that they would fall in love and marry during the time about a year ago that they were only friends. So, today I got to witness a personal wish come true.
The Courtyard in Murfreesboro where they married was all decked out for Christmas with trees, lights, garlands and ornaments. Lauren was beautiful in her creme-colored dress with sophisticated details. She picked the perfect color to look radiant. Lauren seemed very calm up until the moment came for her to see her groom for the first time. I got a shot of Steve's face when she came down the stairs to meet him during the ceremony. What wonderful emotion as he saw her coming down the center aisle to marry him.
Lauren's family was quiet and nice; her Father's speech at the toast brought sweet tears to almost everyone. Steve's family was funny and kind just as he is. They came all the way from England to be a part of his life-changing day. I am very excited for my friends as they enter the world of marriage with such a strong beginning. Congratulations to two very wonderful friends who well deserve each other.
