” I WANT MY DAY TO FEEL LIKE YOUR FAVORITE TEAM JUST WON THE SUPER BOWL”

Let me tell you something. This day certainly felt like that. This couple was such a blast to work with! Josie looked gorgeous and to top it off, always kept her cool despite all the changes and challenges we had on her day! (thanks covid) We were a bit limited on time. She knew that, but never panicked and trusted that her team would get it done on her wedding day. And seriously, she had the best team! She and her bridesmaids sipped on mimosas and chatted about how excited they were that these two love birds were tying the knot because Josie and Rudy have been together since middle school and this day has been long anticipated. All of the excitement really showed from all of their closest friends who were there to celebrate!

“NO CRYING!” SHE SAID, “WE DON’T WANT TO RUIN OUR MAKEUP”

It was so sweet to watch Mom place her daughters veil and admire her as a bride. I also had to fight the tears as she had her first look with Dad. They both saw Josie at her bridal session, but TODAY was her wedding. TODAY their little girl officially starts her own family as The Garcias! I also felt like “something got in my eye” during the mother/son dance. I see myself in the future with my boys and pray that they have a relationship like Josie and Rudy. They are SO SWEET to each other and also clearly respected each others parents as Josie blew kisses to her mother in law and Rudy would “man-hug” his father in law.

Even though their wedding was smaller than originally planned, and the location of their reception changed, they knew that what mattered most was that Josie and Rudy got to exchange their vows and promise each other forever. Thank you for letting me part of such an amazing day. I wish you guys a marriage that is even more beautiful than your wedding and a lifetime of happiness! I truly had a blast!

Big hugs and lots of love!
