“And after all this time
I’m still into you”
These two have been together for like a decade and are just as adorable and happy now as they were when they met. Everyone who knows them was so excited to celebrate their happy day and then of course Covid had other plans. (insert eye roll and dramatic sigh)
They are actually one of the few Covid weddings I've had this year that decided to go ahead with the wedding after changing the date and having to face changing it again. 25 people can be JUST as fun as 200 though when they're your closest friends. The bridal suite was a dance party all morning and each person showed up fully present and ready to make 25 feel like 200. Everyone pitched in to make sure things showed up on time and in the right location, carried boxes, sanitized surfaces, pinned boutonnieres, curled hair, drove caravans and kept the music going.
Starting with the First Look, including the ceremony and the reception speeches Jeremy was all emotions all day and the way Leann wiped each tear was so precious and gentle. They both care deeply for each other and were simply grateful to have the freedom to say “I do” in the middle of 2020’s madness (not to mention the job and city changes they also had this year!)
They wanted to do a bubble exit as they left the church, but like so many other changes from covid they had to go with sparklers, and like every other change it turned out better than we’d hoped. Daylight sparkler exits have their own kind of magic!
During the final toasts Kat talked about how it’s not “them against the world,” but them as ambassadors for each other TO the world, and that rang so true. They’ve been there for each other over and over in each of life’s challenges, and they will continue to do so moving forward.
You guys thank you so much for including me in your big day! I wouldn’t have changed a thing, your crew was one of a kind!
