There are a lot of stories behind a wedding day. The story of the couple, the story of their families coming together, the story of the bride herself. And this is Laura’s story of her wedding day.

They held hands, they shared tissues, they exchanged vows. And not just any vows - the kind of vows they wrote on their own. The kind of vows that made their hands shake and tears flow.

She paused, a few feet behind him - ready, so so ready, but before Zach could even start to turn around and see Shelby for the first time, they both already had tears in their eyes.

There might have been some unexpected surprises...like storm clouds and thunder, downpours and steady rain showers. But the thing that matters above all those unexpected things is the thing that Haley and John expected the most from their June wedding day....They expected to get married.

With multi-page handwritten vows, they took their time, they said their words, and made their promises, and in between each page flip - their hands reached again and again for one another.

Courtney's Dad said it best....Austin is the type of person who in every single element, characteristic and quality he possesses... is what Courtney's Dad ever hoped his little girl would find.

Two dresses, two ladies, two hearts....and one love.

In a huge sea of rice excitedly being tossed their way, Amanda + Ryan came out of those church doors two people who had just become something so much more, something that binds them as one

And then....they saw each other, from across a church aisle, Lorraine on the arm of her sweet Dad, and Travis standing up front at that immaculate altar, beaming from ear to ear.

Nothing else mattered on this day....how could it? These two who have known each other since Kindergarten. Curtis, the boy her Mom didn't want her to date, and the boy who proved them all wrong. Makayla, the girl who stole his heart like no one else ever could...
