Mara & RJ Wedding

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." - William Wordsworth

When JJ & I walked into the bridal suite the morning of Mara & RJ’s wedding, Mara was seated at a table writing in the last few pages of a book. I sometimes see brides and grooms writing notes to one another on their wedding day and it’s an incredibly touching gesture. To take the time to be still and to channel one’s thoughts and feelings into words for another is quite a gift and in this case, one that can only be created at a very specific and special moment in their lives.

Mara explained how she bought the leather-bound book in which she was writing after RJ asked her to marry him, just over nine months ago. She wrote in it every day of their engagement, including the last entry at the end of the book on the morning of their wedding. She presented the book to him during their first look. 

I'd love to see this become a new wedding tradition.
