I'm not going to explain this one in too much wordy detail. I think the images will do just fine. But here are some thoughts that swirled around my head while I was putting the finished touches on this once in a lifetime day at the Waverly Estate.

Some wedding day stories just have an extra layer of emotion that no one expects. It's a feeling that hangs thick in the air, and you can see it on the faces around you if you watch for longer enough. It's an excitement, an urgency... but it's also an acknowledgement and a realization of the shortness of our existence. There are few life experiences that take us on an emotional roller coaster like a wedding can.

These events are huge reminders of what's important!

After this wedding, I made a list of things I want to do more often, and I think everyone should do more often

Stand in a field, close your eyes and just listen

When it's windy, go to the beach and watch the waves

Hug your parents, hug your friends, hug everybody

Eat cannolis 

Jump in a cold pool at night time

Dance with your grandparents

AND Wear ugg boots as often as possible
