The first time they had seen each other in sixteen years was June of 2008, and a little over a year later, they were engaged. The two lives who had crossed paths so long ago, were actually on a journey to join together all along.
I love their story, and I was honored to be there to witness and photograph their wedding day.
Their ceremony was light-hearted and beautiful. There was a lot of laughter…
… and a few tears.
Love the first dance. 
These two who caught the bouquet and garter are boyfriend and girlfriend…. aww.
The same thing happened to my husband and me when we were dating! Just sayin’.
They had some seriously awesome dancing kids at the reception. Plus this girl knew the words to basically every song that came on.
The adults weren’t so bad either!
Chad and my husband grew up together in the Upper Peninsula. We traveled to Wisconsin together that weekend. We experienced some of the coldest weather of our lives, but had a such a great time with Chad & Carrie, and so many of their incredible friends and relatives. So glad we could come up, and we wish you nothing but the best!
