The bridesmaids kept walking over to the window, trying to get a good glimpse of the sky. We all heard the water pouring down on the roof, but kept hoping—maybe, just maybe, there would be a break long enough for the ceremony to take place.
And, sure enough: there was! I've honestly never seen such a dramatic turn of weather right before a ceremony, allowing for Matt and Lauren to say their vows under the clear New Jersey summer sky. There was a palpable excitement that surrounded it all. Excitement from the weather, but also a striking excitement that existed between the sweet couple: the way she looked at him and him at her, the smiles and laughter. It was around them, too, in energy and well-wishes and joyous banter—the kind that fills your heart to observe.
Truly, it's no ordinary day when two become one. Congrats, Matt and Lauren!
