Last summer, I met with Kelly in a coffee shop here in Ann Arbor, and she was smiling from ear to ear. It had been over 20 years since we had seen one another, so most of the conversation revolved around "do you remember," and sentiments of when our families attended the same church and school. The best part?
Her fiance also went there. No, they didn't have crushes on one another in middle school nor were they high school sweethearts. One could even say their story started when their grandparents were in one anothers weddings. Little did they know that their lives would intersect long after.
Kelly & Jeff found their way back to each other one year ago. "It's crazy," she said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. It didn't take long for both of them to know that they had found their other half. They made if official in Hawaii last fall, and celebrated with family & friends at a beautiful reception here in Michigan. Jeff's eyes teared up as the video played of their ceremony on the beach, followed by Kelly's father walking her into the room to Jeff. One could say he's absolutely smitten by this girl, and she's nothing sort of head of heels for him. Surrounded by their loved ones, they exchanged Hawaiian leis and danced the night away, with eager anticipation for the lifetime they now have with each other.
Here's a few shots from their Michigan wedding (now their wedding album will cover each extreme climate :)
Even though it was freezing outside and drizzling rain, Kelly was such a trooper doing photographs!
A few from the reception:
Can't wait to see all of the exciting things coming your way, Mr. & Mrs. Thompson!
