She gracefully slipped her arms into the sleeves of her dress. A big smile splashed across Alexa’s face and that’s when I heard her say, “I’ve waited for this moment my whole life”. Alexa was so ready to marry Devon. In our culture it seems that we are forgetting the core of a wedding day.. Once the dress has been worn, the curls have fallen loose, and the ties have been untied it isn’t about how amazing your wedding day was but who walks next to you out of the church. Alexa and Devon were a reminder of the value and true meaning of a wedding.

Jillian, Alexa’s sister, explained how she has always been Alexa’s biggest cheerleader, always being the one yelling and supporting from the stands.. Through her tears she explained that it was now Devon’s turn.. Devon’s job to be her biggest supporter, to stand by her through the trials, to celebrate the successes.. I’m not sure there was a dry eye in the room (myself included).

Alexa & Devon – You both are such beautiful individuals. I was in awe of how welcoming, warm, and wonderful your families are. You two are truly blessed in your support system and are going to constantly be surrounded by love not just from each other but your friends and family. Congratulations you two.. I can’t wait to watch your story unfold!
