where do i even begin with these two. they stole my heart and seeing the two of them be so thoughtful of each other made every moment on their wedding day that much sweeter. i think jess + marco might be one of my only couples where i had to actually ask them to STOP kissing. the beautiful Catholic ceremony, hilarious bridal party, and crazy fun reception kept this day full of fun and laughter.

however, what i find even more fun, is that throughout the wedding planning i received an email from jess…something along the lines of us being kinda related. yes, we realized through the powers of Facebook that we are in fact, in some weird way… in-laws! her brother is married to my husband’s cousin (hi Suzanne!). which clearly makes us family. to make it even more fun, throughout the wedding day i found out that one of her bridesmaids is best friends with 2 of my friends (hi Hila!), one of her ceremony readers when to school with one of my old dance team friends, i actually was on dance team with another one of her readers (hi Megan!), and one of her guests went to my grade school where i was in Brownies with his sister, and his mom was one of our troop leaders. yes, northern va, you managed to do it again.

jess + marco:: you two are seriously the best ever and i wish you nothing but the best of happiness. i have no doubt your new little family will be full of it!  perhaps i shall see you at future family reunions! :)
