Miami Palms Hotel Wedding | Matt + Stacy

“How does he look?” she asks.  “Fantastic.” I reply.  And he really does.  And she looks AMAZING.  And it ‘s almost the moment.  That amazing moment where the whole world slows down and it all comes together.  The part of the day that I most look forward too.  Because this day is all about these to people and their connection.  Their time together.  And that moment where he sees her for the first time and the world stands still and no one is there to disrupt it, is a moment they will remember forever.

It’s the stuff romantic comedies are made of.  Boy meets girl at med school.  Assigned to same study group but of course boy often doesn’t show up.  To early ya know?  But just like in the movies, it all comes together.  A month long study retreat, a dinner date, and chemistry and sparks turn friendship into something more.

But, don’t forget I promised you a romantic comedy.  Fast forward a few years to NYC.  Christmas eve and Matt is working late at the hospital so Stacy picks him  (can you see the movie scene here?).  But he has Christmas present for her.  I’ll give you a hint.  It’s sparkly and pretty and she can wear it on her left hand for the rest of her life.:)

To Stacy and Matt, as a HUGE fan of romantic movies your story makes me smile and sigh and believe in Happily Ever After.  Your wedding was perfectly you, your family a friends were a treat and your love I witnessed is a gift to whoever meets you.

Naples Ritz Carlton Wedding | Matt + Brooke

There is something to be said for intimacy.  To the letting go of perception, perfection, stress, pleasing others, and just focusing on the day, on the moment, on the commitment.

And through wind or rain, storm or no storm…..it doesn’t really matter.  Because all that really matters is that these two people are here…. today….together….for this special moment.  Everything else fades into the background.   And whatever happens, however it happens, perfection is achieved in the simple fact this moment happened…….perfectly.

And that is how I see Matt & Brooke’s wedding.  Two fabulous, easy going, fun loving people.  As a storm threatened and the wind blew they were smiling and so happy to be together and in this moment.  And those of us that watched knew that this was special and couldn’t help but feel the love.

The wedding was the perfect melding of 2 amazing lives.  With only close friends and family present to participate in the day.  The ceremony was held on the beach at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida.  The reception was held just a few feet away in the Beach House.   Perfection!

Jamie Lauren - Candice, these are beautiful! The clouds in the ceremony shot are in.cred.ible. WHOA!May 24, 2011 – 4:00 pm

J (Sparkly Love) - I absolutely love the way the place cards are in the sand! Our place cards are sea shells and I’ve been trying to think of how to put them on the table in a cool way. I think I just found it! I have such a soft spot for beach weddings that are still simple, elegant, and wonderful without overdoing the “beachyness.”May 24, 2011 – 3:23 pm
