Sometimes in life you get lucky. I was so lucky to have met Nicole and Julian. Okay, that is not what I meant, though it is very true. Nicole and Julian were so lucky to have met each other. They are seriously two peas in a pod. Everything between the two of them flows from laughs, jokes and smiles to sweet almost kisses and deep real kisses. They are the epitome of what love is. It radiates outwardly and you just can’t ignore it. They are pretty much perfect.
So, their wedding day followed suit. The girls were having a grand time getting perfect and Nicole was just sitting back with her mimosa and taking it all in. The boys were upstairs at The Gate House playing fooseball and pinball and drinking beer. We could feel the energy as soon as we walked in the door. Already, when we go to Lionsgate we know it is going to be a pretty awesome day, but this day took that to a whole new level.
From the first look and couples photos to the bridal party, throughout the ceremony and then again the toasts and dances, cheeks were hurting. There was so much smiling and so much joking around. Julian and his twin brother played the age old switch-a-roo. The kids ran around the lawn playing Jenga and Ladder ball. During the ceremony I have more photos of them laughing than not. It is an epidemic and I welcomed it whole heartedly.
The love and joy between these two was contagious. You could see it in every moment big and small and on every face. Like I said, I feel so lucky to have met them and so beyond blessed to be a part of their special day. Here’s to Nicole and Julian!
