Gooooood evening!  I know you’re busy handing out candy right now, but if in the event you get a break from trick-or-treaters, this post is for y’all! We pick up Part II of Tally and Matt’s wedding with their ceremony which was absolutely perfect.  I couldn’t help but tear up behind the camera when I heard this selected readings that Tally’s friend wrote (and read).

“Love is patient.  Love is kind.  But life is not always patient, and it is not always kind.  Love is someone standing in the middle of your busy life who causes you to pause.  Love extends a hand and leads you to a quieter, more peaceful place.  Love grows along the well-worn paths of two people going their own ways.  It envelops all the fences and laces the hard ground between them until it has encased their separate worlds in one secret garden.  It is not impenetrable, but it is protective.  It is not the absence of fear, but it is the decision to walk together knowing the risks.  It is the conscience awareness that there are other choices in life, other partners and other paths; but the taking of a hand, the look in the eyes that says this is the only choice my heart and mind agree on.  When life is not patient and life is not kind, love says, “Let’s talk this through”.  Love kneels together by the bedside and prays for understanding, for patience and for kindness.  Love cultivates a lifetime of patience and kindness by facing life’s struggles together as a husband and wife.  As friends.  United by love. United for life.”
