NATE AND MELISSA ARE PERFECT.
Sweet, sincere, spiritual, and completely, helplessly in love. I met them at the wedding of Garrison and Valerie, where they watched their roommates tie the knot—completely unaware that they would soon be following in their footsteps. Thanks to a little positive peer pressure, it didn't take long before Melissa was donning a new piece of jewelry. Here are a few from Nate and Melissa's beautiful wedding...

BRYSON AND ASHLEY WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER.
I met Bryson in Connecticut. We were paired together as missionaries, and after many long hours knocking doors, playing chess and shooting each other with nerf guns, a strong friendship blossomed.

After a few weeks of noticing her excitement build and build, she showed up to class one morning with a ring on her finger—and the rest, as you can see, is history. They are such a beautiful couple! It was a joy to work with them. I walked away from their reception with a slew of new friends.
