The bride got ready in a beautiful room, looking over the ocean. They said their I do’s barefoot on the beach and spent the rest of the evening soaking in the sunset with their families. Maddy and Andrew had a wildly talented chef prepare dors d'oeuvres and a beautiful dinner. Throughout the evening unfolding, each one of Maddy and Andrew’s family members shared a few words about how special this sweet couple is to them.

My heart was warmed by this present and peaceful celebration of love. May this be a reminder to all of us to do things our way and enjoy every moment of it.
