A warm summer afternoon

the doors of the library are wide open, a soft breeze blowing through the room

Honeysuckle just outside the window

chairs set out on the lower garden tier, faint city sounds in the distance

Chrismarie's satin slip dress is moving in the wind, her hair combed back to expose her high cheekbones and signature red lip

a tender sound of laughter as their 18 favourite people make their way to the ceremony down the garden path

her grandfather on her side, leading her to her soulmate

Stefan speechless, swallowing his tears as she walks toward him

reading their vows lit up by the dappled sunlight

sharing amaretto sours on the lawn with the people they love most,

taking a break to stroll through the lush garden, champagne in hand, the sun filtering through the trees

sitting down at a long table

a candle lit dinner with handmade pasta, local wine and good conversation

film + flash photographs as they dance

-

celebrating Chrismarie + Stefan's infinite union.
