Congratulations to Mitch & Jenna, married at the Aspen Rooftop in Lee’s Summit Missouri on July 20, 2013.

From the bride:

It’s so hard to pick a favorite point of the day! So, here are a couple of my favorites that come to mind first.

1. Opening Mitch’s gift to me. He gave me a scrapbook of memorable moments from the last two years in our relationship. From pictures, to keepsakes, to movie tickets from our first movie together, I was amazed at the planning and thought he had put into this gift. Seriously, best husband ever. I cried like a baby. And so did all of my girls. =)
2. Releasing the balloons on the rooftop to see each other for the first time.
3. My dad’s first glance…it was so emotional and special to have that moment with him.
4. Our vows. Mitch and I wrote our own vows together, and they were very personal to us. It reflected our relationship, and it was fun to hear our guests chuckle when they heard us say some of our more amusing vows. I’m also impressed I got through them without crying! =)
5. Dancing with Mitch at the end of the night to “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne. Even though he can’t sing at all, he serenaded me throughout the song, and it was one of the few moments we had just to each other throughout the reception.
6. After all was said and done, and Mitch carried me across the threshold of the hotel room, we stayed up and talked for over two hours about our wedding day. I know it’s silly, but this is the time I will remember and treasure the most. He kept looking at me, shaking his head, and telling me how beautiful I am and he can’t believe I’m his wife. He isn’t always so sentimental in our everyday life, so I loved that he opened up and shared how he was feeling.

I happened to be looking through songs for other parts of our wedding day, and stumbled across some songs of Tyrone Wells. After listening to “You’re The One”, I fell in love and hoped Mitch would like it too. After he heard it, he said he really liked it and thought it would be perfect for our song. Our favorite part is in the chorus…”You’re the song I’m always singing, you’re the where, the why, and the reason. You’re the One.” That’s exactly how we feel about each other. Then, toward the end of the song, it says “My forever’s yours my dear.” I love knowing that my forever is in his hands. =) After listening to more of Tyrone Wells’s songs, we found so many we liked. The song I walked down the aisle to is called “Happy As the Sun.” The tune was perfect for the atmosphere of our wedding and fit our personalities perfectly. It’s very light and upbeat, and the words are so fitting for the moment a bride walks down to her groom to start their lives together. The chorus says “When I see you, I will be…Happy as the sun, lighter than a feather, walking on the clouds when we are together. Every day with you just keeps getting better. The world’s as it should be, when you are here with me
