Marriage...

The didn't want to see each other before the ceremony so they went back to back and held hands instead. Adorable. 

The rings of generations of women in Jenna's family. 

Yes... I pray for your weddings. 

When the flowers wither, the dress is stored, the honeymoon suitcases are unpacked, and you're waiting in line to get your name changed on your license, all that was the wedding begins to settle. Now before that begins to sound anti-climatic and maybe even a bit depressing let me assure you, you're about to start the good stuff. Marriage is so much better than a wedding. And I love me some weddings! (: 

Living life both in the good and in the difficult with one another will be some of the most rewarding, challenging, and life-shaping experiences you'll ever go through and I pray that your weddings when all is said and done will turn into a marriage.    

For today's wedding I said a big prayer for the weather!  With a 100% chance of rain, and an outdoor wedding in the gardens you better believe I was prayin' for the weather to hold out. 

And you know what...? It did! 

For real the live radar was all bad news with the exception of this little clear spot just over our wedding at the beautiful Cantigny Gardens. Of course if you're having an outdoor ceremony you're hoping for good weather but this place is incredible and I was so glad we got to explore the gardens for the perfect spots for some amazing wedding pics. 

Today was a good one. Amazing bride & groom, wonderful bridal party, and the start to more than just a stunning wedding but a beautiful marriage. 

Congrats Chad & Jenna!
