This weekend marks the 2nd 2014 wedding for lizzie photo – so it’s only fitting I work on wrapping up blog posts on 2013 weddings, and oh do we still have a few special ones to share.

Amy & Jack’s November wedding was one of those. Now, I don’t just say this because their reception was in a brewery, though when the terms wedding & brewery are used to describe a wedding to us, we usually get very excited. Waldorf Brewery in Hastings, Mi, was the setting for this lovely wedding reception. But we aren’t there yet.

We started our day – me with the girls at the hotel, Dan with the boys at the…wait…the brewery. How does this always happen???? Not fair (ok, I was pregnant anyway, but he does always have fun hanging with the guys). Then again, I usually go nuts over all the makeup i can look at, and pretty dresses, and happy brides….like Amy.

Oh, when we first met Amy & Jack I saw it….love, adoration, safety, strength. So much is wrapped up into this relationship. I love seeing it when I look at a couple. Love is just….special. It is. I knew their day would be a celebration of it, and I was right!

From the time their beautiful ceremony started until we left the reception, it was a celebration. The celebration in Jack’s eyes when he saw Amy come down the aisle…the smile on her face throughout the ceremony, and the way their family & friends…and in the joy shared at the reception.

There was laughter…marital advice…and even a sweet serenade by the cutest little girl (who sang Michael Jackson, how cool is that)?

But most of all there was love. Lots of it.

Amy and Jack, we wish you sunny skies on endless highways and a full gas tank for the motorcycle ride of your life (that was for Jack).
