Jamie and Will’s House on the Metolius wedding is one we will always remember! Jamie and Will remind us a bit of ourselves- not just because of his height and her blonde hair, but because of how they are when they are together. This wedding included the most beautiful private vow reading before the ceremony, and though it was windy and we couldn’t hear a word (due to some high winds), it was still so emotional because of how they looked at each other. They were just so happy to be together in this beautiful place telling each other how they felt.
Weddings go by so quickly, it’s hard to even feel like you and your person have had a moment to really let it all sink in together. There are so many ways to stop and breathe it in, whether it be a private vow reading, taking a short walk together or sharing a private toast before the reception. I highly recommend finding those few moments in your day and taking the time to look at each other and say “hey… we’re here, can you believe it!?”
The Indigo Bride did such a beautiful job bringing together all of the details so Jamie and Will could be 100% present with each other, their friends and family on their day. There were so many beautiful details included in the day, but Jamie and Will’s love for those around them and one another played center stage.
We’re so happy for these two! Congrats to Jamie and Will!
