Weddings are about two people tying their lives together “officially” but most weddings are really about tying families together. In laws become friends with one another, siblings become best men and maids of honor, moms and dads dream together about the day that their babies saying I Do will make them grandparents. Amy & Zach most certainly had this kind of wedding where family is at the forefront of each moment from getting dressed to down the aisle, from toasts to first dances. Amy’s mom beamed and laughed with her daughter, each of them sharing thoughts about missing the physical presence of Amy’s beloved dad, but both along with Amy’s brothers and Zach’s family did their best to acknowledge his very real presence amongst them. We loved learning that Zach’s aunt made a “walk with me dad” charm for Amy’s bouquet and her veil included remnants of her mom’s wedding dress. In the end it was that kind of emotional and personalized thought that really defined Amy & Zach’s exceptionally fun, beautiful, romantic and sun-filled lakeside day. Zach knows exactly how to make Amy laugh and he does so liberally, probably because her laugh is like a pumpkin spice latte come to life – warm, sweet, and totally irresistible. Cheers to Love; Cheers to Amy & Zach ~
