She's Everything I believe In

”I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Together, they caught chestnuts and dates, which represented the bride’s fertility, thrown by the couple’s paren't’s and other family.

Laughs and Joy At The Alter

As the bride walks down the aisle, she is met with her future husband. The groom is dressed in their best suit and she's wearing a gorgeous wedding dress.
