Wedding season has officially begun! Olivia and Michael said ‘I Do’ at the First Baptist Church in New London, New Hampshire in front of all of their close friends and family. Olivia and Michael met at Church in a Young Adults group, where they became friends and then eventually started dating. You could definitely feel the love between these two! Moments before the ceremony, they did a private first “touch,” holding hands and sharing a few words before they headed down the aisle. Following the ceremony, we gathered for formals outside with all family and bridal party, and then Olivia, Michael and I snuck back into the church for some couple’s portraits.

The reception was at La Pièce - The Room in Tilton, NH. An intimate but elegant room with brick walls and white curtains wrapped around the beams. String lights hung above the guests as they enjoyed one another’s company and waited for the bride and groom to make their entrance. Olivia and Michael made their way on to the dance floor for a first dance, and then Olivia shared a dance with her father. When I asked the two of them what their favorite memories of their wedding day was, it was the moment the doors opened at the ceremony for Olivia, and she began walking down the aisle to her soon-to-be husband. For Michael, it was hearing Olivia’s vows. As the night drew to a close, and the happy couple said their goodbyes, Olivia and Michael’s post-reception plans were to go grocery shopping to grab a few items for the next morning’s breakfast. Yes, you read that correctly! Naturally, I had to follow.

“A cord of three strands is not easily broken” - Ecclesiastes 4:12. Biblically, this speaks to how the Lord must be woven into our relationship. We loved our wedding day and spent a lot of time preparing for it, but we spent more time building a solid foundation for a life together after our big day. Congratulations to the happy couple!
