August 2nd was so much fun! From the moment I showed up at the Tonawanda Castle, I knew it was going to be a special day. Not only were my favorite photographers there from Ayres Photography, but Kristin and Chris are some of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. So after the usual checking in with the venue planner and getting the marriage license, she gave me a small box and immediately I assumed they added something extra to the ceremony. Nope! It was a gift for me! That hits you in the feels right away. They had a key theme to their wedding, and now I fit right in with my new necklace.
Chris was beaming from the moment I saw him. He looked so happy! Not at all nervous, just ready to join his bride. If I thought no one could look more excited, Kristin just about beat him. First off, she looked gorgeous, but also just ready to see her love. This was probably the most crowded ceremony I’ve ever been a part of. These two are very well loved because they were packing bodies into the room long after there was room for them. There was just enough room for the talented singers who filled the room with some of the couples favorite songs. And as soon as I heard Falling Slowly from Once, I was hooked. After Chris came out with his groomsmen, Kristin met him with tears already in her eyes. The huge crowd smiled on as they laughed, grabbed hands, wiped tears from each others eyes, and after one hell of a kiss, had to do a little lipstick maintenance…on Chris! It was really a beautiful moment and I felt honored to be there. Congratulations Chris & Kristin! I wish you nothing but the best and endless happiness, although I don’t think you need any wishes. The two of you are perfect together and I’m happy to have been a part of your story.
