If every single wedding this year tugs at my heart the way that Brooklyn & Trevor’s did, I may end up becoming dehydrated from all of the happy tears! This Black and White wedding might have a edgy Rock & Roll theme but don’t let that fool you, these two were not afraid at all to rock their intense love for one another! See what I did there?! This beautiful bride is a calligrapher! So naturally this wedding day had tons of Brooklyn’s incredible talent displayed. Some of my favorite decor was that each table had a different rock band fabulously written, a beautiful wedding seating chart and what was most adorable of all – they also had a record as their guest book!

 

There are literally a thousand reasons why this wedding was so special. For starters, Brooklyn is a dear friend of mine. She’s my go to calligrapher whenever I need beautiful hand lettering like the vows above my bed, any project I’m working on, or gifts for friends! She has an amazing talent and I am so grateful for her friendship.

 

Brooklyn and I are also no longer strangers to grief and we’ve been able to walk that difficult road together. Trevor’s sister, Ashley was taken from them suddenly a couple of months ago, so naturally the two missed her tremendously on their wedding day. I know that not having her present was a very emotional experience for them as her loss is still new to them. They were able to incorporate her in a beautiful way as Trevor wore a pin with a picture of his sister. I have no doubt that between all of the family and friends present, the day was still so joyful to them amidst the sadness they felt.

 

Something else that was so special about this wedding is that Brooklyn & Trevor share a beautiful baby boy, Sage. They incorporated him into their day in the sweetest way possible by not only having him as a ring bearer but also reciting their own vows to him as their parents. Y’all. It was SO sweet. Speaking of vows, I have to say that the end of Brooklyn’s vows absolutely  took the breath away from me. In perfect alignment with their wedding theme and so true to the love that she has for Trevor she nailed it! Her last sentence was ,”You’re my rock & I promise to roll with you forever.”.

 

Brooklyn & Trevor, thank you so much for having me be apart of your day. I’m so excited to see the happiness that your marriage will bring!
