Saturday, May 22nd was the day before Pentecost - when the Lord sent the Holy Spirit down upon the Apostles. Pentecost is symbolized by the Dove to represent the Holy Spirit, by Fire to represent the power of the Holy Spirit, and the color red to represent the passion, the zeal...the Spirit ignited within.
Saturday, May 22nd was also the day of Steve and Jaime's beautiful sacrament. Their love was symbolized by the exchanging of rings to represent eternal commitment, communion to remember Christ's sacrifice, and Jamie's favorite color, Red, to represent the passion, the zeal, the work of the Spirit within them and their marriage.
Steve and Jaime met September 1st, 2007 out at a movie with friends. It was clear at the start that they both possessed qualities that the other was looking for in a lifelong partner. From the beginning Steve could tell that Jaime was sweet, and he learned over time that she was artistic and loyal. But perhaps the most wonderful discovery was the fact that this beautiful woman wasn't afraid to just be goofy. Around Jaime, Steve could be himself. They spend the majority of their time together laughing. Jaime was quickly taken by Steve's generosity, his romance, and his ability to figure-things-out. Jaime loved to have fun with Steve and believed him to be oh-so-handsome.
Both of them were inspired by the other's powerful Catholic faith. Every day these two come together, clasp hands and pray. It is these intimate moments that are the most meaningful. Moments where, in showing their love for their Lord, they strengthen their love for each other.
Their first date was a picnic at the Biltmore where they were showing Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was there on the lawn, beneath the Arizona night sky that they shared their first kiss. Walking around Old Town Scottsdale Civic Center Park is where they first said "I Love You". And on the couch at Jaime's parents house, Steve asked Jaime to be his companion, his partner in faith, his bride.
She agreed.
When I first met Jaime and Steve, Jaime shared her favorite Bible verse: 1 Peters 4:8 "Above all let your love for one another be intense, for love covers a multitude of sins." Saturday May 22nd was an amazing day filled with the fire of love. The reception expressed their love for their families and friends and the ceremony expressed their love for their Lord and for each other. All day long I felt the presence of their love. I know you will feel the same as you witness it here through the photos.

The reception was a fun party:
Steve surprised Jaime by serenading her at the reception. He sang "Green Eyes" by Coldplay and did an impressive job. He was rewarded with a big kiss.
