Pick up duty the following day

       Our wedding day was by far the best day of my life. To have had all the people I love in the same place and marry JCW was a dream come true. Things didn't exactly go as planned and we were forced to delay our ceremony and ended up getting married in the driveway instead of on the lawn. I can honestly say that the rain forced everyone to come together which made the ceremony so much more intimate.

       In planning our wedding it was very important for us to have a relaxed party-like atmosphere and that's exactly what we had. We didn't follow all of the typical wedding traditions and instead did whatever felt right. We couldn't have asked for a better day! I can't wait to see my real "non-iPhone" pictures.

Special thanks to our families, Captain Chesapeake (who went above and beyond) and all of our friends for making our special day SO incredibly special...we love you all! xx
