If your dogs don’t at least make an appearance at your wedding, are you even doing it right? The answer is, no. Thankfully, Lindsey and Nathan know the rules. Fenrir and Moose, in their matching bow ties, sat so patiently while their humans tied the knot, and then they finally got their chance to love on mom and dad during picture time. Nothing could have made this day more perfect, other than the fact that it was the most beautiful October day, filled with family and friends, and the fact that these two high school sweethearts were finally saying I Do after 8 years!

As I’m sure you all know, October in Nebraska is a total toss up. It could be 80 degrees, it could be super windy and cold, it could be blizzarding, or you could get super lucky and have a warm sunny day that’s everything fall dreams are made of. That’s what Lindsey and Nathan got on their wedding day. With Creekside Event Barn being in the midst of Roca Berry Farms Pumpkin patch, the ambiance of fall was in full effect. 

Can’t get any better, right? Wrong. All day long, these two and their friends and family were so laid back and fun to be around. The girls filled the bridal suite with laughter as they got ready. Imagine this gorgeous bride getting her dress on, surrounded by her girls, with soft sweet music playing in the background. Nope, not this bride! She had party music blasting.

As the Nathan and the guys got ready, they sipped some drinks and just relaxed throughout the day, anticipating the moment he’d get to see his bride.

I don’t see this too often, but Nathan decided he didn’t want to see Lindsey until the moment she walked down the aisle. He wanted the moment to be extra special, and it absolutely was. As she walked towards him, he was beaming, and I couldn’t help but think about the moment he told me what he loves about Lindsey. He told me how he loves how hard working she is, her drive, how she never backs down from a challenge and her competitive side. As he spoke these words, a tiny happy tear rolled down Lindsey’s cheek. It was the sweetest moment, and as this strong, independent, and beautiful woman walked towards her groom, I couldn’t help but re-feel those feels all over again. 

Lindsey and Nathan, thank you for choosing me to be a part of your day. The two of you are kind, and funny, and genuine, and welcoming. You’re the good stuff. I’m wishing you a lifetime of laughter, of adventures, love and friendship, of teamwork, and most importantly, loving on those sweet pups.

Much Love,

Gabby
