Lilian stood in her bedroom. The soft morning sunlight spilled through the window as her girls helped her make the finishing touches before the big day. Ever so carefully slipping into the dress, fastening the jewelry, putting on the shoes, tying the sash. Carefully, so that everything would be perfect today.
Not that Noah would care if things were imperfect. In fact, he had proven just the opposite when they were very first getting to know each other. Lilian brought her dog Hops over to his house, and, much to Lilian’s horror, Hops proceeded to go to the bathroom in the middle of Noah’s living room floor. But Noah simply laughed and cleaned up it without blinking an eye.
It’s those imperfect moments that make life beautiful, though. Because life, and love for that matter, are rarely perfect by definition. Things are messy, like dog poo in the house. Things are tough, like being long distance to finish school. Things are stressful and exciting, like buying a house together. It’s the laughing together at the awkward moments and the sweet reunions after being apart and the total devotion to each other through it all… That’s the stuff that Lilian and Noah’s relationship is made of.
So she carefully finished getting ready that day. The day that they would pledge their love in front of family and friends. The day they would kiss and everyone would dance and toast to their love all evening. They day the became Mr. and Mrs….
And it was perfect.
Married: Lilian + Noah
What a wonderful wedding this was! I loved the sweet and thoughtful simplicity of the entire day. Plus there were DOGS!!! Lilian is a veterinarian, and she and Noah both have a love for dogs, so they brought Hops and their newest addition Macey, plus a few other pups were hanging around as well! For a fellow dog lover like myself, I of course thought this was so so great. Lilian and Noah, thank you SO much for having me along to document your beautiful wedding!! It was an honor and I absolutely loved every moment of it. May you guys always feel the love you felt for each other on this day, and then some. XO
