My Truest, Closest Friend - Andrea & James

Picture
Soon after James' romantic proposal to Andrea on a riverboat in one of their favorite places to retreat, Andrea honored me by asking if I could marry them. 

Andrea, my sister's very best friend is someone I have known for over 10 years. She is incredibly generous and loyal to those she loves, with a distinct closeness to her friends and family. James was a long-time friend and they realized that their friendship was meant to be much, much more. Andrea and James chose a stunning location at an old mansion in Pennsylvania with the gorgeous backdrop of a lake behind the alter.  

As I began the writing process and learned about them as a couple so many things began to strike me about their relationship. Most importantly, they are friends first.

With a large group of almost 200 family and friends gathered around them, James and Andrea sweetly chose one another in a ceremony that highlighted the importance of friendship.  

They are one another's closest, truest friends and with those they love they will carry this into a lasting relationship.

"I, James, take you, Andrea, to be my wife, my partner in life, and my one true love.
I will cherish our friendship and love you more each day.
I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you, and cry with you.
In you I've found the love of my life and my closest, truest friend ..."


This was a memorable day for two absolutely beautiful people, inside and out. There was laughter and tears and a really wonderful celebration. For this couple, it's always so evident how appreciative they are to have love in their lives. And, I was truly honored to be part of it throughout the process.
