and i thought i loved you then
june 29, 2013
four years ago~ a gorgeous summer day in uptown charlotte, i married the most genuine, kindest person i have ever known. i know God brought him into my life and i know he’s my true love. now we are mom and dad to the sweetest baby boy, continuing to enjoy our city, travel, and take in the simple moments in life. we dream, we try our best to overcome the difficult days, we challenge, we laugh, we cuddle, we pray, and we try to be the best parents we can for parks james.
here are just a few of my favorite memories from our wedding day:
-then-
-my bouquet-
the rosary was a gift from my maternal grandma and the colored brooch was my paternal grandma’s (she passed away when i was a young girl) yesterday would have been her 103rd birthday. i could feel her love that day and i know she was with us
i surprised my new husband with a cannoli bar to honor his italian heritage
the charlotte city club (especially the director, nathan hoffman) made it a day to remember- always.
now you’re my whole life
now you’re my whole world
i just can’t believe
the way i feel about your girl
we’ll look back someday
at this moment that we’re in
and i’ll look at you and say
and i thought i loved you then
and i thought i loved you then
{then by brad paisley}

every day- i can feel how much my husband loves me. for this, my heart feels so full.
what’s even better? i know that our son feels the same love.
my sister stood closest to my side all day
from my bridal portraits – i loved my dress!! it was originally a one strap dress, turned high lace
-details-
the girls wore cream and gold + pink and coral peonies
my girls
so many loved ones + so many travelers
(a couple came from italy + lots of small-town, ohio + the northeast)
the men wore succulent boutonnieres + tied with gold wire
such a happy day!!
our programs were created on etsy and i loved them!
the pages had a faint rose print on them (a dusty/soft pink design)
my dad’s brother, my uncle john, married us – it was beautiful (love him so much!)
my big brother, bassey (my sister’s husband) …
he could use some prayers this week. please do so if you can and thank you in advance. <3
my sweet cousin, ansley – our beautiful flower girl
tim and i did a write-up about each person in our wedding party ~ still beyond blessed to have this forever- ohio to carolina- friend in my life 
thank you for being my best friend, tim.

i love you.
happy four years!
