I don’t think either one of them realized that their whole life would change the very moment they swiped right.

But that is precisely what happened for Stephanie and Landon and was the small beginning of an incredibly beautiful life together.

I have known Aaron almost my whole life!! He grew up next to me and I used to babysit him and his little sister all the time! I have been surprised many times over the course of the last few months at how amazing of a man he has grown to be, and also that he’s getting married and KISSES a girl!!!

And it’s the most kind of beautiful when those couples find me because we then get to make all the magic happen!!

If you’re reading this post, most likely you either have a ring on your finger and you can hardly breathe, or it’s just around the corner and it’s like the Christmas morning you’ve waited for your whole life!! You might already be feeling overwhelmed by all the wedding planning that just all the sudden got put on your to-do list! But the good news is that you don’t have to do everything all at once!! Set everything aside for now except these five simple tasks.
