chad and dee|wedding

*oh, my! Where does a girl begin?  I have too many things to say and too many images to showcase of this couple in love.

Chad and Dee are such a sweet couple. Dee is the outgoing one who loves to laugh and be silly and she brings out that special something in Chad.  Chad is a marine and tends to be a bit more serious…that is why Dee is the perfect fit for him!  By no means is Chad not adorable on his own ;)….he is actually such a gentleman and dotes on Dee and it is so sweet to be a witness to that kind of love!  Together they just Mesh!  Meshing is always a good thing!

I can’t write this post without mentioning Chad and Dee’s family!  Dee’s mother was so incredibly kind and I can see where Dee gets her charm!  Dee’s brother thanked me at the end of the night and it was so nice of him to take time out to say how much he appreciated me.  So sweet…thank you!

Chad’s family is equally charming!  They welcomed me into their home and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and chatted with me like I was an old friend!  I know how much time and energy goes into weddings and they were amazing with all of the events of the day!  I have to add that Chad’s sisters are a hoot and I wish I could be around that dinner table when they all gather because they sure do know how to have fun!  Kids and all…it was a celebratory day and such a honor to have been a part of it!

Dee and Chad…I just love ya!  I pray that your marriage will be forever blessed and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for you!  I have a feeling it is going to be Grand:)

blessings,

kellyb.

*Oh, and of course I have to add that this day would not have been the same without my dearest friend, Kerri!  She braved the frigid temps with me and we ALWAYS have such a fun time shooting together! Love you, KB! You are awesome!

And the last shout out to my friend, John.  He and his guys shot the video for Chad and Dee and I CAN NOT WAIT to see his talent come to fruition! Stay tuned!
