August 25th was amazing. It was beautiful outside, especially at the Hayloft in the Grove. It’s truly a gorgeous place to get married. A rustic barn, flower-filled outdoor space…a dream! And I’m so happy it’s where Anna and Ben decided to say their I do’s, because it fit them perfectly.
I found Ben greeting excited guests when I first arrived and he had a case of the nerves. He wanted to double check that he didn’t have to have his vows memorized (I’m not evil) and had a little bit of that deer in headlights look. I went to find Anna who saw me, smiled, and then nervously asked if she was supposed to memorize her vows. Perfect couple, amirite? As guests started to take their seats, I headed up front with Ben to await their party and of course, his bride. When the doors opened and Anna appeared, it was a real moment. She looked stunning and Ben’s nerves seemed to wash away in that moment. They took hands and smiled at each other as the ceremony began. Sometimes I can tell couples aren’t really taking in what I’m saying because they are so focused on each other, and this was one of those moments. I sure don’t mind though, because I love watching it happen. They sealed up their wine bottle and love letters for their first anniversary, and before we knew it they were kissing as husband and wife! Congratulations Ben and Anna! I’m so happy your married life gets to start and I wish you nothing but happiness in your future!
