Kate and Joseph had just finished their first dance as a couple and were headed to their seats. Though the excitement in the atmosphere was still high, Joe sweetly pulled Kate’s chair out for her, leaned down, and softly kissed the top of her head. The beauty in this moment brought me to tears.
This wasn’t the type of kiss that said, “Hooray we’re married today!” it wasn’t even the type that said, “I can’t believe I get to call you my wife.” Although there were plenty of those.
No, this kiss was quiet.
This kiss was one that said, “I will be there for you everyday. I won’t leave your side when you are sick, or when you are at your lowest. I will be the old man at the end who still holds your hand. I will be there on the happy days and on the ones where you can’t bare to go any further. I will be there to dance with you, and to make your laugh. and I will love you with every fiber of my being.”
I bawled.
These small and simple moments didn’t happen just once throughout the day, but often.
Kate and Joseph are a couple to admire. The love and devotion they have is not only readily recognizable, but it runs deep. I was lucky enough to be reminded time and time again throughout their day of little acts of love! Obviously this was a huge day for them, It’s their wedding day for heavens sake! There were plenty of ‘whoops and hollers,’ but what stuck out were the quite sweet moments between the two!
I knew from the moment I sat down with Kate at our client meeting, that this couple would be a game changer. I wasn’t thinking about all the details she would have there, or even what venue she wanted her wedding at. I was simply grateful that god had blessed me with such a kind couple with the most genuine hearts!
Although, I will throw out there that not only are they the sweetest people on the planet, but they have some GREAT dance moves! Keep on scrolling people!
Kate and Joe, thank you for letting me be a part of your wonderful day! I am truly honored and can’t wait to see what life has in store for you!
