Your person should be your solace.

Wait for the one.

Alex is full of light. She is strong, honest, kind, and beautiful. Ben is steady as a rock. He is compassionate, sensitive, smart and handsome. Together, they are balance. In every sense of the word.

I've watched their relationship grow since the very beginning. I love what they mean to each other and who they are for each other.  Their story has strong roots and a family tree that crosses oceans. Ben is surrounded by three special girls and I get the sense that he knows just how lucky he is at this moment in his life. Alex has a courageous spirit and a heart of gold that is grounded by truth and integrity. What they have built is the start of something wonderful.

It was an honor to be a part of this day. I love you both. Welcome to the family, Alex.

Something about fall in the city. The way the light pours itself through the trees, shimmering glass, bending around corners, blanketing the sidewalks and buildings, warming the brick. Crisp air, crunchy leaves. The colors seem deeper and more inviting; everything feels like a memory in the making.
