Tyler & Beenu wanted to do something different and unique for their wedding.  Living in Chicago they decided a warm destination wedding would be just the thing.  Combining the wedding and a vacation they settled on San Diego as the perfect place to travel.  Their family and closest friends gathered from near and far to celebrate Tyler and Beenu’s special day.  The beautiful, traditional Indian ceremony was followed by an intimate reception.  They even squeezed in time to play at the beach in between.  And by play we mean run around barefoot in the sand with us in tow taking fun pictures.  It was truly special to be a part of Beenu and Tyler’s wedding.

So I started this post about four times in four different ways and each time I looked back at the words sprawled across my screen and they just couldn’t express the weight of all the emotions of the day.  Every little detail surrounding Jesse and Courtney’s wedding day was infused with the love they feel for one another, from the hand written journal Courtney started before she knew she was waiting for Jesse, to the words etched inside his wedding ring.  As I mentioned in their sneak peek I’m not one regularly brought to tears, but as we sat in the bridal suite with curling irons steaming and makeup dusting the air, Courtney read out loud the first page of the journal intended for Jesse. I felt the moisture collecting at the corners of my eyes.  Then again I felt the tears surface when her brother spoke of their love before everyone at the ceremony and when they exchanged vows.  The final time my eyes welled up was as the family came up and toasted Jesse and Courtney, each telling such wonderful and loving stories of this incredible couple.  I just can’t help but smile when I think of how two such loving and deserving people were  brought together.
