Cherie and Mike tied the knot in Leesburg, AL this past weekend. Not only was their wedding absolutely gorgeous thanks to their sister, Amber, but the setting was incredible. The lake made for some great shots that I am still working on editing... David enjoyed the resort so much that he is now trying to come up with a way to buy one of the vacation properties ;).
I first met Mike and Cherie when Cherie's son, Timmy, and Jordan were on the same baseball team a few years back. Since then they have become a part of our church and some really good friends. I truly enjoyed being asked to take their wedding photos.
As Cherie walked down the aisle, I was struck by the miracle and beauty of marriage. The moment when 2 lives unite to become one is priceless and amazing. Too often these days, the vows get forgotten and the beauty at the wedding disappears. Divorce has stolen the life out of many marriages and many people and forced them to walk around broken and without hope. It is all too easily an option when we are facing hard times with our spouse. I think of my brother and sister-in-law who just recently faced a painful divorce with a 2 year old caught in the middle. I can't help but think most days about what her life will be like because of this and what it could have been like without it. I am so thankful that God is gracious and is continually looking out for this precious little girl...
Anyway, I digress. Cherie was absolutely stunning on her day and Mike, handsome as well. It was a gorgeous day, which was not necessarily good for the picture taking, but great for the guests who didn't have to sit in any rain :).
