On April 16th, 2011 I had the honor of standing beside one of my bestest, dearest and oldest friends as she married her best (man) friend. Ok, he is her best friend, I am just having best friend separation anxiety. You know, totally normal right? This was a big day, for lots of reasons. It was a time of coming together, a time of laughter, and joyful tears. Oh, and I can’t forget the fabulous dancing. I am a sucker for those cheesey choreographed songs, ie the Cha Cha Slide, that make you feel like you are a back up dancer for Britney Spears. Hello, genius! But, above all else, it was a true celebration of what God had done to transform both Amber and Bryan on their journey to the aisle. Amber truly learned how to trust and how to let someone love her. What I loved even more, was that the transformation that I had seen had also been SO apparent to others who knew them. What confirmation of the good work that God does in the hearts of His children! Just imagine, If we can feel loved by our family and friends who are imperfect humans, how much MORE and how much BETTER does our heavenly father love us? Truly overwhelming.
Here are some of our photos… also a great reminder that it is time for a new camera. Please excuse the blur and unnatural colors.

Seeing as my own photography skills definitely did not do justice to the beauty of this day, check out a sneak peak of the great shots her photographer, Jadyn Welch captured here
Amber, you were a GORGEOUS bride. And Bryan, you are a lucky man! Can’t wait to see what God has in store for the both of you on this journey!
