The weather finally cooled down (kind of!) for Bethany and Kevin’s mid-July wedding in Raleigh! Bethany is the sister of Gwen, who was my former co-worker and our wedding client from last December. :) She is equally as sweet and beautiful as her sister and we were so excited to work with her and Kevin. We were also really excited to see the two adorable flower girls that were part of Gwen’s wedding as well. This time they actually threw the flowers instead of hiding their face behind their hands the whole time. ;)

Kevin and Bethany are fantastic together. They also met through their family’s church (like Gwen and Nick) and did a lot of double dating with Gwen and Nick along the way. Those two also helped prepare Kevin’s proposal to Bethany, so the two couples have been a very important part of each other’s lives. It was beautiful to see the families come together and to be part of their wedding! I also got to see a lot of the teacher friends that I had when I taught, and it’s always nice to have a reunion. :) In small world news: Bethany had three of my past students in her 5th grade class this past year! Congratulations Bethany and Kevin! You two are beautiful together and we wish you all the best!
