“now ‘til forever it’s all of me, all of you
just take my hand
and i’ll be the man your dad hoped that i’d be”
– dan and shay
i can’t even begin to explain how many answered prayers filled abby and eric’s day. it was calling for rain all day. as in, 80% chance of rain all. day. long. they were so intentional with choosing the perfect venue for them, strong mansion was also where eric’s parents were married and where they were engaged. it has a gorgeous spot for an outdoor ceremony, and all they wanted for their day was to be able to use it. the sun was out as i pulled up to abby’s house for the girls to get ready, but as soon as we got in the car to drive to strong mansion the heavens opened and it was POURING. the entire hour drive over. but you wouldn’t even believe that as soon as we pulled into the parking lot the rain stopped, and we didn’t see another drop of rain all. day. LONG! i seriously couldn’t believe it! and yet at the same time, there were so many people covering their day in prayer, that i knew it would end up being perfect. abby explained during the reception that her main prayer going into this day was that she would feel her dad’s presence there with them, and she knew that the absolutely PERFECT gorgeous weather was his way of saying, “i’m here! i gotcha covered” :) eric and abby, it was such an honor to be a small part of your day! thank you thank you for inviting me into your lives :) congratulations again! abby wore her sweet momma’s GORGEOUS wedding gown, and it could not have been more perfect! and even miss sadie made an appearance for a few photos! :)the rain made all those fabulous fall colors really POP!YAY for a beautiful outdoor ceremony!! :)
we didn’t have much of a sunset, but i’ll take soft overcast light ANY day!their dance floor was PACKED all night!love this of abby and her sister!so thankful for you, sweet lady!
