The rain poured outside on Norma and Jose’s dusty blue and navy Wisconsin wedding day. In the sitting room of the restored victorian home at Green Gables of Bonduel, the groom waited in suspense. Just behind the glass doors, surrounded by delicate vintage floral wallpaper, Norma was waiting for our signal.

It was time. She walked towards Jose slowly, pausing in front of him. His eyes opened and immediately welled with tears while a giant smile simultaneously stretched across his face. The room was filled with their joy and contentment at finally being in each other’s arms on their wedding day.

Several hours earlier as Norma and her bridesmaids were getting ready, I noticed something about her. She seemed to give off a breath of sweetness and relaxation. When her sister put on her veil and asked her how everything looked, she asked, “Do you think it looks good?” Of course, she looked absolutely beautiful and we all told her so. Although this was one of the most special days of her life, she wasn’t fussy and the trust she held in her closest friends was so sweet to see.

The groomsmen got ready at the venue while the girls got ready at the bride’s family home. Aaron told me all the stories of their morning getting ready with pictures to go with it. The guys were just as relaxed and comfortable with an extra dose of good natured fun to go with it. From serenading Jose while getting dressed to the stories they shared during speeches, their brotherhood bond was obvious.

Norma and Jose, thank you so much for trusting us to capture your wedding day. We so appreciated your grace and trust in us, especially with the all day rain. You both deeply love the Lord and each other. When I think of who you are as a couple, the word “nurture” comes to mind. Your depth and the aura of peace you carry makes you a safe place for others to grow and heal. I’m so excited to see what God does through the two of you!
