[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ow can I put into words the immense joy that this day brought to my heart? It’s not easy to sum up such a special day, but boy am I going to try! I remember the first day that I met Anna and Matt! They met me on Matt’s lunch break at Starbucks. They walked up to me, hand in hand! Anna’s bubbly personality was the first thing that I noticed. Matt was quiet and let Anna take the lead. Much like my own husband does with me. Anna and I hit it off right away! I remember calling my husband and saying how much I loved these two! It’s not everyday that you meet someone who you can talk to so easily, and Anna and Matt are those people!
When I walked into Anna’s getting ready room at Alhambra, the first thing that I noticed was the music and laughter spilling out. There was so much joy already happening and I knew that would carry throughout the day! It’s always a good time in the getting ready room when the girls break out into song with each other. I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as I watched Anna and her bridesmaids hold up their invisible microphones and put on their own concert. But smiles were not the only emotion that I had. When I watched Matt give his mom a surprise gift, I could not hold back the tears. I have a son, and mother/son moments get me every single time.
Anna and Matt had the sweetest first look!! Matt had the biggest smile on his face as he turned around and saw a glimpse of his bride for the first time! It was hard to hold back the “Ahhhhsss”! During their ceremony, I watched as both mothers wiped away tears as they watched their babies walk down the aisle. And I watched as Anna and Matt, still hand in hand, joined their lives together! It’s not everyday that you get to witness the beginning of something so special, but I know that this is just the beginning of an incredible story! Matt and Anna, I love you guys! And I wish I could relive this day over and over with y’all! I hope y’all enjoy this glimpse into your day from the sunny beaches of Jamaica!!!
