It wasn’t the wedding day they had pictured, but somehow, that made what I witnessed even sweeter.
Allie had poured so much of her heart into the vision for this day. Every detail had been thoughtfully chosen, and the outdoor ceremony she had dreamed of was absolutely beautiful!
…. then the rain came. ☹️
From 2 PM until the very end of the night, it never really stopped. There was just enough time for a first look and a few portraits with Bryce before plans began to change. Eventually, the decision had to be made to move their ceremony indoors at the very last minute.
And of course, there was disappointment. When you’ve spent months dreaming, planning, and pouring your heart into a day, it’s okay to feel a little heartbroken when it suddenly looks different than you imagined.
But one of my favorite things to witness the two of them through all of it.
While Allie watched pieces of the day she had envisioned change around her, Bryce was right beside her / calm, comforting, reassuring, and somehow still just as happy as ever. Because it was so obvious that the details of the day weren’t what he had been waiting for.
He had been waiting for her. 🤍
Rain or shine, outside or inside, exactly as planned or nothing like it, they were there for one reason: to marry their best friend.
And watching the two of them together was such a sweet reminder that sometimes a wedding day can look completely different than you dreamed and still hold everything that truly mattered. 🤍
Allie & Bryce, you may not have gotten the day you pictured, but what a beautiful beginning you got instead. 🥹
