Emily & Ben's Wedding

Last weekend we made a trip to Ohio for Emily (my cousin) and Ben's wedding. This was the first time we had been back to Ohio since moving to Nashville. It was wonderful to see family and friends again - we had missed them SO much!

Emily and Ben were married on Sunday, October 2nd at The Darby House near Columbus, Ohio. It was a sunny morning, and although it was a bit chilly, there was not a cloud in the sky. The wedding was small and simple, but beautiful just the same. Here are a few pictures from the event:

Brandon and I love attending weddings - they're a great reminder of how far we've come as a couple. Marriage definitely isn't easy, but we've enjoyed getting to know each other better as we figure out this journey together. We've grown so much since our wedding day, almost 2 years ago, and look forward to many more years of furthering our relationship with God and each other! 

All our best to Emily and Ben - we wish you a lifetime of happiness, and more ups than downs :)
