Ruby and Alex found each other and it was good. I had the privilege of seeing a VERY important chapter in their love story- their wedding day- up close and very personal. Surrounded by family and friends, hand-in-hand, they enjoyed a lovely and meaningful ceremony and celebration. I wish them the best of luck and send my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS!!
Didn’t know Jen was so good at karaoke or that she could sing a mean “Proud Mary”…Didn’t know Matt and his family were such serious West Virginia fans that “Almost Heaven” would close the wedding almost as an anthem. Didn’t know they liked traveling so much that they would jet off halfway around the world to French Polynesia, yes Bora Bora, for their honeymoon. What I DO know is that their wedding day was wonderful and filled with special moments. From their rehearsal dinner onboard The Patriot to their reception setting along the Miles River at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it was completely obvious how much care and thought had gone into their wedding day. How much their family and friends enrich their lives! What an experience it was for me, someone who witnesses so many weddings, to see the love and support they have from all who were there.
Thanks so much for allowing me to be a small part of your day, Jen and Matt!
Jen, Jeff, Beau…. yes, Beau- their dog! It seems to me that Beau has been a very important “person” in their relationship. After all, when Jeff proposed, he tied the ring box to Beau’s collar and sent him to find Jen. When Jen realized that Beau was carrying precious cargo(!), Jeff got down on one knee and, well, you know the rest! Beau was there from the start in a way, since it was Jen’s relationship with Beau- how she cared for him- that was one sweet thing that won Jeff’s heart. So Beau had a front row seat from the beginning and yes, he walked down the aisle at the Hyatt Chesapeake on their wedding day, too. Although he tried mightily not to yawn during the ceremony, he did find a comfortable spot to rest while Jen and Jeff “tied the knot”.
I love it when couples really make their wedding so personal, filling it with their family and friends and yes, even their pets. Somehow it all seems so perfect that they incorporate everything important to them into their day, even Mr. Beau!
Thanks so much, Jen and Jeff, for having Tom and me as a small part of your day. You wanted to have fun on your wedding day, wanted it to be unforgettable and as far as I’m concerned, you got your wish!
