Jason + Amanda • Intimate October Wedding • LaVista, Ne
Every moment I’ve spent with Jason and Amanda has been surrounded by this unwavering sense of calm. From the misty drizzle on the day of their engagement photos, to the heavy rain every day the week of the wedding, to intense wind on the big day… Never once did this feeling go away. And it’s been like this from day one for Jason and Amanda.
When they met for their first date at the Mill Coffee shop in the Haymarket of downtown Lincoln, it instantly felt right. It felt comfortable. They sat there at the checkered table and talked for hours, just knowing, this was the start to something big….

Every moment I’ve spent with Jason and Amanda has been surrounded by this unwavering sense of calm. From the misty drizzle on the day of their engagement photos, to the heavy rain every day the week of the wedding, to intense wind on the big day… Never once did this feeling go away. And it’s been like this from day one for Jason and Amanda.
When they met for their first date at The Mill Coffee Shop in the Haymarket of downtown Lincoln, it instantly just felt right. It felt comfortable. They sat there at the checkered table and talked for hours, just knowing, this was the start to something big.
Fast forward through lots of time spent together, attending art shows, wandering around the farmers market, sleep overs at the zoo, and so much more, Amanda was making brownies, talking about apartment shopping, and feeling a little stressed. Jason wrapped his long arms around her with one of his big hugs that make her feel so safe, and there it was, the beautiful, perfect, pear shaped diamond ring. Instantly, all her worries melted away.
Now it’s October, and Jason and Amanda are surrounded by all the people they love most. They started the day getting ready with some mimosas, writing letters to each other. Then it was time for the first look. They stood back to back reading their hand written notes, holding back tiny tears of joy. Then it was time for the moment they’d been waiting for all morning. Jason and Amanda gave each other’s and a squeeze, and on the count of three, turned around with the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen. She was so happy to see the man she would call her husband in a few short hours. The man who puts everyone else first, who makes her feel safe. And he was so thrilled to see this beautiful humble, and wise woman he would call his wife, the woman who is so caring and helps stay level headed. Together they took on the rest of their perfect day, never once losing their sense of calm.
Finally it was time to make it official. Their siblings stood by their sides, while their parents and grandpa watched from the front row. The other important people in their world filled the room. As the two exchanged vows, Jason was so excited to finally call Amanda his wife that he said “I Will” twice… Que the laughter, which didn’t end for the rest of the night. Their intimate ceremony was followed by delicious food, desert, and dancing, all in a room full of love.
Jason and Amanda, thank you so much for welcoming me into your world and letting me be a part of such a special day. Your love has shown me the power of calm, and laughing along with you throughout the day brought me so much joy! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
Much Love,
Gabby
