All is Full of Love

It was Christmas Eve two years ago.  I was on a flight to Baltimore, MD from Columbus, OH to spend the Christmas holiday with my family.  Andrea was on that very same flight with a connecting flight in Baltimore to New Hampshire to spend the holiday with her family.  She sat next to me and started off the conversation over the book I was then reading: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman.  We talked the whole flight, and when we departed we exchanged information and decided to get together for dinner after the holidays.

Since then, we have gotten together many times!  She is a really amazing person, and it has been truly a pleasure building our friendship!  We were fortunate enough to have her attend our wedding ceremony in August 2010.  We were also fortunate to attend her wedding this past weekend, and when I say it was beautiful and amazing and full of love, I mean it was absolutely beautiful and incredibly amazing and SO full of love!  It was evident by the amount of joy in the air that Andrea and her now husband, Doug, are surrounded by so many loving families and friends.  Brian and I both agreed that their ceremony was one of the most sentimental and heart felt ones that we've been to.  The reception was equally as beautiful and full of fun!  (You'll have to check out some of our best photo strips yet from her photo booth in the album below!  We were quite impressed!)  We were so honored to be a part of such a wonderful day, and we are so happy for Andrea and Doug! 

And may you both always remember the following from Mama T:

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

Congratulations you two!  We ♥ you!
