This fall marks 10 years since my very first wedding. I like to think that after a decade, this job has taught me a thing or two about what the commitment of marriage truly means. Marriage is choosing to move forward, no longer just one person, but as half of a pair. It’s the blending of two families, oftentimes very different, but always acknowledged as being the important piece of the puzzle that brought a couple to this moment in time. Values, dedication, compromise, unselfishness, meeting someone in the middle, choosing to choose “forever” well, forever. It’s the hope of the future. Hoping that when decades have passed, when the dust settles, when the ups and the downs have finally come full circle, the two of you are still there, still choosing this life, good or not so good (and sometimes really really good and sometimes really really really not so good!!). For those who want this, a wedding day is simply the beginning.

All this to say, that Nikki & Greg want it and I think everyone in their circle knows this is the case. G&N’s wedding day was not just a start, rather a continuation of a beautiful life they’ve already created. Two beautiful girls, a beautiful little family. Greg looks at Nikki with nothing short of absolute pride. He is radiating with pride for his now wife and it’s pretty cool to see. And the way Nikki laughs at Greg, well that’s just as equal as my last sentiment. Nikki & Greg got married on a perfect fall day at JPH at Ferry Hill in Marshfield. Every last detail was oozing with love, like a big hug blanketed this farm as the closest friends & family gathered.

September 28th was a true group effort so I have a few shout outs!! The bouquets & boutonnieres made by Nikki’s mom (which still blows my mind), the planning and reception space was executed by Wedding Coordinator Meghan Cullen, Catering by H Cole, and lastly to all the women who run JPH…you rock and I can’t wait to work together again soon!!

Greg & Nikki, this is so cheesy but I mean every last word!! Your day inspired me on so many different levels, and I am so happy for you both!! Wishing you many many years of days like this šŸ™‚
