The moment was finally here. The chapel had been decorated. The Christmas trees shone brightly. It was happening. They started to walk towards the top of the stage together. They then took turns in a ritual that went back thousands of years. She first sat down and sweetly smiled at her groom who began to wash her feet. At this moment even though there was a church full of people, it was just the two of them. They were truly soaking in the moment alone. They continued to smile at one another as they traded places washing one another’s feet, just as Jesus did for his disciples. In this moment they were living through actions what they wanted their marriage to represent. In the same way David’s wedding band read ”As Christ Loves” he showed love for his bride in this Christlike love, & Sydney the same for him.

Now it’s no secret that Starkville has the ability to create some beautiful love stories, small college towns have that capability. However, if you know either of them personally you know that Christ beautifully orchestrated their relationship from the very beginning. Sydney and David have two of the kindest spirits on earth, so it’s not really a surprise that they fit so perfectly together. They bonded over coffee and Mississippi State Football. They were also able to endure some long distance throughout their relationship as well. They kept in mind that their temporary separation would prepare them for a wonderful lifetime together. December 9^th, 2017 that journey began!

Sydney & David, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to capture your last moments as an engaged couple as well as your first as husband and wife. Separately you are both incredible. I can’t even imagine the impact you will make together! Your kindness and gentleness towards everyone including each other will create a lifetime of blessings for you, I have no doubt. Until then, I will constantly be wishing you the happiest of memories. I love you guys. Congratulations!
