✨Sarah & Stephen ✨
Part l
In my opinion, whether couples follow trends and traditions or not, every wedding is unique in their own ways. Unique in the relationships between family, friends and the couples themselves. Unique in how they make space and time for things that are important to them and on and on it goes. Truly blessed that it's my job to capture it all and see how unique each wedding is 🥰
What's not unique is that I always tear up at the father/daughter dance but, this wedding caught me off guard and I found myself choking back an actual sob at their personal vows.
"Till death do us part" is part of traditional vows and the depth and meaning of that can get glazed over or lost in everything else. Sarah phrased it so beautifully and I'm kicking myself for not getting an exact quote and no I will not be bothering them on their honeymoon 🤣 but, the way my prego brain remembers it was along the lines of "whether I get to love you for the next 50yrs or just one more day; I will love you for the rest of our lives" 🥹😭
Reminded me that that's the goal. To love well until the end and that we don't know when that will be. It's easy to assume we have time, time to be petty, angry, selfish, work on it but it's not guaranteed and being 1,742 miles from the one you've vowed your life to... well, my heart was whole again after an airport reunion that made an older bystander tear up and say "I wish I had a video of that" 🫶🏼
No surprise I'm sure; that I couldn't fit a friend's wedding into 20 slides - stay tuned for part 2 😉
