Jonathan and Debbie ~ Wedding

I have thought long and hard about what I would say in this post, and I am still having trouble putting into words just how much this wedding day meant to me. I have known Debbie for years now. We worked together for a few years and have been friends for even longer. I can say with all my heart that if I could have chosen just one person to have the happiest day of their life this year… it would without a doubt be Debbie. Last year I saw Debbie go through a very very painful time in her life, with the loss of her father and brother. The reason I am mentioning this is because with everything I saw her go through, I learned what true joy and faith really is in someone’s life. She is one of the most encouraging and joyful people to be around, even during the most painful times in her life. It is so easy to be joyful when times are great, but what I have seen and learned through being friends with Debbie has taught me so much about life and what faith in the Lord really is. I just want to say thank you to her for what she has taught me and for the example of what a Godly woman she is.

When I heard that she was engaged I was grinning from ear to ear. Jonathan has been such a wonderful example of what a husband should be, long before they decided to get married. With all I have seen Debbie go through, I have also seen Jonathan go through it with her and be by her side through it all. He has been nothing but supportive and loving to Debbie and I am so thrilled that they are married!!!

Debbie and Jonathan, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day. It meant so much to be able to capture such an amazing day. You two are such a blessing and your wedding was absolutely stunning. I could not have pictured anything better. I love you guys and pray that you have many blessings in your marriage :)

I think Debbie's niece Ayva thought that she was the bride (she is such a doll!)... their first dance

Too funny! He leaned in to give Debbie a kiss and Ayva wanted one as well
