Michael and Michele are so in love and so HAPPY to be in love that it just shines out of them! I admit that I often tear up during wedding ceremonies, but these two had me misty-eyed all day long! One of the most special moments was during their first look, when they read aloud to one another the vows that they had written.
It was such a beautiful and moving moment! Michele's vows to Michael are so lovely that I would like to share them here:
"I love you, and thank the Lord for bringing you into my life.
I believe in you, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together.
You are my best friend, soulmate, confidant, and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life, and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible. I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together.
On this day, I give you my heart, my promise that I will walk with you, hand in hand, wherever our journey leads us. Living, learning, loving. Life together. Forever.
With my whole heart, I take you as my husband. Acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority.
I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring.
You are my person -- my love and my life, today and always.
I love you, Michael."
I just got a little teary again, re-reading them.
I'm so very grateful that I got to be part of Michael & Michele's epic love story! Here are a few of my favorite moments from their wedding day:
