The ceremony was in a quaint, small-town church with about 50 of Mariah and Tyler’s closest friends and family. The couple chose to forgo a first look for the traditional aisle reveal. And it couldn’t have been more perfect. Tyler was tearing up in anticipation as we waited, and when he laid eyes on her, he was overcome with emotion. I can only imagine her beauty, faithfulness and her own raw emotion spoke volumes to him in that moment. When Mariah turned the corner, there were no nerves visible; she was so clearly ready to see her groom, with a big smile and happy tears welling.
One thing I’ve always known about Mariah as an adult is that her relationship with Jesus is first and foremost. Their pastor even said, “Tyler, you were a smart man. It didn’t take long for you to realize that if you wanted to get to know Mariah, you were going to have to get to know Jesus.” And he proceeded to share their personal journeys with the Lord and their own desires for their marriage as not two, but three.
Absolutely gorgeous day, Bride, Groom, venue, photos!!! Everything was beautiful!! I had the honor of designing Mariah’s flowers for her special day. She and Tyler and her Mother Shawn were awesome to work with. Congratulations and many many blessings to this beautiful couple!!!!
Thank you so much for your words! The flowers were absolutely stunning!
