It’s hard to say who held more excitement in their heart as rain drizzled outside the windows of Pine Valley Country Club. Beneath the protea flowers and the arch that his family had tirelessly worked to create, Garrett stood and waited for the girl that made his heart leap out of his chest the very first time he saw her across the room. After years together, the day was finally here. Friends and family filled the room and witnessed the second that the rings were slipped on fingers and the second vows were uttered. Every moment of that day, from the zipping of the dress to the vows, to the first dances, was cherished with happy tears, smiles, and hugs.
No matter where you turned or what conversation you overheard, wedding guests all talked and cheered to the same thing: Karlie and Garrett shared heart’s of gold and poured their souls into each other and every person that entered their lives. And now, on the unusually blustery and rainy September day, it was Karlie and Garrett’s turn to have love poured into them. Greenery, flowers, and donuts flooded the dining room and created the most intimate garden for guests to create into the best party of Karlie and Garrett’s life.
Karlie and Garrett, we are so so thankful that you chose us and let us into your life on one of the most precious days. You two are the brightest souls and we don’t even have the words to describe how honored we were to document your first day as husband and wife. You treated us like long lost friends and welcomed us with open arms and we can’t be more grateful. Have the best time in Jamaica and drink a Bob Marley for us. All the love – xx, M&M
