Private Wedding in North Carolina

Beginning a new year is always exciting. 2014 is no exception and for Amanda and Brian it will be a year they always remember. It is the year they start their journey as husband and wife.

Now look at the picture. Look at it really close. Notice anything unusual? Looks pretty normal until you realize that Brian is carrying a jacket. Not his jacket, but Amanda's.

Amanda's dress was very beautiful and perfect for her wedding. Unfortunately, the temperature was typical of January weather and barely made it to 40 degrees. The wind made the temperature seem much cooler so she kept her jacket nearby. Luckily, these two had their love to keep them warm.

Not sure they even felt the cold.

Amanda holding on tight, promising to always be by Brian's side.
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning..
All I Ask of You-Phantom of the Opera

This was the day they had been waiting for.

The ring says it all.

The wind cooperated and the unity candle was lit.

And then the kiss!

Lots of hugging and kissing.

The jacket went on. Time for a first dance, 'A Thousand Years'.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

All smiles.

I will admit, it was nice to get inside by the fire!

 The Groom carrying his Bride across the threshold. The beginning of forever!
