Cynthia + Johnathan / St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church Wedding

“Rain, rain go away, come again another day!” Only if singing that song on a rainy wedding day would work! It doesn’t matter how much you plan a wedding… there will always be “that something” that you just won’t have control over.

Grace. It’s a beautiful thing… You either have it or you don’t. You can try to learn it, but it’s hard… If you have it, you don’t really have to really think about it because that’s just who you are. I remember seeing Erin + Hector at Erin’s brother’s wedding, and GRACE is the word I felt when I met them.

Outdoor weddings in Georgia has many risk factors because the weather is just so unpredictable. I feel like it’s getting sporadic more and more every year. It’s really summer one day and freezing winter temps the next. You just don’t know what your’e going to get!

If you’ve been following us on Instagram, you probably know that we recently took a long 19 day road trip to Yosemite, CA and back. Vacations are great because it gives you time away from the usual and just rejuvenates you!

Through our small group at church, we’ve been doing a personality study, and I’m once again fascinated! This is my third time studying it in depth, and just when I thought I knew it all, my mind is blown! I appreciate personalities so much because it makes me understand and love others in ways I couldn’t have had I not known these discoveries.

One of the things that I dream of doing is travel the world…. I mean they say, “It’s a small world”, but to me, it’s SO BIG at the same time. Traveling has not become a priority of mine until about 3 years ago. I was pretty much a homebody and didn’t really feel a great need to see everything.

Customer service… yes, that’s a big part of business. In fact, in my opinion, that is the heartbeat of any business. Because in the end, what matters is people. People may think that they’re purchasing some”thing” or a product, but it’s really the experience. What they “feel” is what they’re investing in. If it doesn’t make them feel good, it will not be a good purchase.

Now that we’ve become “middle aged” and have kids that are entering their teenage years (wow that’s so weird to write), we can’t help but see weddings in a new light.  At the beginning of our business which is now more than a decade ago, we went to weddings and thought how we wished we could’ve done that, had this, worn a different dress, etc…

Integrity, honor, morality…. you don’t hear about words like these too often these days. And, it’s even harder to find those who possess these and act upon them. But, not Jessica + Joel… they’re of a higher standard. Getting to know couples like them gives us so much hope for our world, for the next generation.
