I don’t usually tell stories of how my wedding clients meet each other. I always ask them, but I rarely post it on my blog. Mostly because I’m worried I will mess up the story and not tell it correctly. But I’m taking that risk today because I absolutely LOVE how Cheryl and Doug got together.
Cheryl and Doug have known each other for a long time. In fact, they went to high school prom together!!! But I don’t think either of them knew back then they would get married one day. After high school, the years went on and they lost touch with one another. But I’m sure they thought of each other from time to time and wondered how the other was doing. But it wasn’t until many years later when Doug’s high school reunion was being planned, that Cheryl decided to give him a call out of the blue. They spoke for hours, and only hung up the phone because Doug had to leave for work. The spark was reunited, and what followed was lots of phone conversations and traveling back and forth for visits between California and Arizona. It didn’t take long for Doug to relocate to Phoenix permanently. And now… well, they are married!
I don’t tell their story as good as they do… but the reason I decided to share it is because it inspires me. It reminds me that there’s something greater at work in the world. There’s something bigger than ourselves out there pulling us in directions that are meaningful. Life can be so beautiful and magical, and Doug and Cheryl are walking examples of that. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet them, to photograph their wedding, and be a witness to something so special.
Cheryl and Doug’s wedding was simply perfect and took place in their home, with their friends and family in attendance. It was an intimate, fun, and beautiful evening.
Congrats Cheryl and Doug!!! I’m truly happy for you both.
Below is their high school prom picture!!!
