There’s something so very distinctive about the wedding of a couple that’s known one another for most of their lives. There’s a comfort, a familiarity in the air; the families and guests already know each other and the bridal party is filled with family members, mutual friends and other loved ones who’ve grown up together. It shifts the celebration from not only “new beginnings,” but also to a nostalgic look back on all that has happened to bring everyone together for this momentous day. There are photos together from “the awkward years” and tales of past shenanigans, also, people say the word finally A LOT 😉 And such was the case for our dear Molly + Charlie. From their grade school and college friendships that have stood the test of time, to their proud parents, who have stood the test of raising a rather rambunctious group of teenagers*. From the hilarious toasts from family and friends reminiscing on their wilder adolescent days, to the heartfelt and sentimental touches throughout the wedding: Molly had a piece of her grandmother’s wedding gown sewn into her own and shared a special first look with her adoring father, while Charlie and his mother picked a special song to include his brother Danny in their mother-son dance, their past was woven into their day just as much as their future. It was a wedding day filled with happy tears, joyful laughter, minor poking fun at lifetime friends, and of course, celebrating the life that these two have made thus far and will continue to share together. Molly + Charlie, thank you for inviting us to share in your story – we can’t wait for you to sit down with family and friends and reminisce over these photos 50 years from now 🙂 Cheers and CONGRATULATIONS, friends!
*who have since grown up to become these poised, polished adults 😉
