Kyle + Andrea - Talon Room • Lincoln, Nebraska

November 18, 2018

She stood across from the love of her life, her greatest adventure, her future husband. She was steady, confident, and so full of joy. Her bridesmaids looked on from the left, the groomsmen from the right, and all of their family and friends who they cherish so deeply, watched from their beautifully decorated seats. String lights hung from the ceiling, and deep burgundy roses and dreamy greenery covered the tables. Andrea looked tenderly into his eyes, and she began to softly speak.

“Kyle, my boy. The first time I saw you, I told you that you ‘looked familiar,’ but I now know that what I was seeing was my future.” She spoke of his ability to bring out the best in her and how he’s given her the best years of her life. She made promises of a lifetime of laughter, love, and respect.

Then it was Kyle’s turn to share his vows. He took the microphone, looked at his beautiful bride, and let the familiar words flow from his mouth. “Andrea, who knew that a girl messaging me the words 'you look familiar' nearly three years ago would completely change my life.” He spoke of her unwavering support, and her ability to make sure he knows he is loved, fully and unconditionally, with nothing but a look from her mesmerizing eyes. He made promises of a lifetime working together as individuals, partners, and equals, a lifetime of love and respect.

The words they shared were simple, honest, and deeply heartfelt. A perfect reflection of their love for each other.

Getting to celebrate their love with their friends and family was the perfect way to kick off their new adventure. It was such a beautiful day. Andrea and Kyle both spent the morning getting ready with their wedding party at the Embassy. They saw each other for the first time on the skywalk. Kyle waited nervously as Andrea backed up slowly until they were back to back. They exchanged letters and read them while holding back tears. After taking a moment, they turned around. Pure joy. Pure love. The way they went into the day is the way they ended it. Filled with love, joy, and respect. It was one heck of a party.

Kyle and Andrea, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to witness and capture your love. Getting to know you over the past year has been such a joy. The respect, kindness, and pure bliss that your relationship emits is absolutely inspiring. I wish you nothing but the best on this grand adventure called marriage!

Much Love
