As she swung her legs back and forth under her desk she peered over her shoulder and returned a goofy faced grin right back at Aron Zampardo. He was the cute kid that everyone girl had a crush on. He was oober athletic and just enough of an extrovert to get himself into a little bit of trouble. Nikole was the quiet blond with a smile that made her face bunch up into a gorgeous grin. It was infectious which must be why Aron continued to taunt her in a little boy crush kind of way. After several years of school, tough tests, and sacked lunches she got a little less shy and a bit more awnry herself. She was able to tease him back about how oober cool and popular he was and their friendship became something special. After high school they didn't see each other much, but then a time came when they became roommates which strengthened their relationship and solidified in their minds that they would always be friends.
Then life threw Nikole a curve ball that changed the direction of her life forever. She began one of the toughest periods of her life and Aron was there right by her side. He lifted her up, held her hand when she needed it and turned her tears in a gorgeous smile.
It wasn't hard for her to see what was happening between their friendship. She had a gorgeous man in her life who loved her, protected her and was willing to walk the toughest roads with her....they fell in love.
Aron + Nikole you have a beautiful love story about a love that can surpass anything. It's love story that only God himself could create. Your love has withstood childhood changes, tough times, lost connections and let's not forget all the teasing. You're family is truly gorgeous and I am so glad that I got to witness your wedding day. Congrats you guys!



So, all morning there was a little more drama than normal. Nikole's little girl had a loose tooth...a very loose tooth which she pulled and tugged on all morning. Everyone helped give pulling advice, painful faces and of course their share of stories as a kid. It made my tummy a little sick, but it was a fun twist on the normal wedding day stuff.











It was quite a big part of the morning.











One of my most favorite parts of the day was just after the ceremony was over. The newly names Zampardo family walked hand in hand out into the lobby where both of the children just burst into tears. It was as if all of this emotion had been building up and now that they were alone they could all share their tears of joy together. It melted my heart to see how much the wedding meant to the kids. Ahh, it was a seriously beautiful moment.
