theresa & chris - february 24, 2007

every couple has a story to tell about their wedding day, and theresa and chris definitely will have one of the best. their wedding date fell on what some local forecasters called the storm of the century, with ice and sleet and almost a foot of snow in some areas. the most remarkable part about the day, however, was not the weather, but how these two and their families never once thought about letting that keep them from enjoying their day to the fullest. i never once heard them complain, and they kept smiling and laughing and had fun with the situation.

here are a couple of my favorites of chris and theresa. here they are braving the elements:



some ice on the trees outside of the church:

chris getting to the church on time:

theresa's beautiful dress:

getting some help getting into her dress:

theresa was excited to see chris's reaction as he saw her for the first time, and he didn't disappoint:

their ringbearer may have beat the down-the-aisle speed record:


theresa was lucky enough to be able to be escorted down the aisle by both of her dads:


exchanging rings, surrounded by their friends and loved ones:

another fun picture outside:

making each other laugh:

when they got to the reception, they found that the power was out at the hotel. they just laughed and said that would make for a great story later. how amazing is that? taking advantage of the situation, we took this picture in the blackout, and they were lit with only a flashlight:


instead of letting the lack of power let them get them down, theresa and chris greeted their guests and invited them to join them in a nice, romantic candlelit dinner:

their friends and family raising their glasses:

i love this picture of their cake, lit by flashlight:

and just as they cut the cake, the lights came back on, so they could party the night away:


there is a quote attributed to hugh downs that says, "A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.” theresa and chris's attitudes that day just showed what amazing people they are and that they have the basis for all the happiness in the world as they begin their lives together. congratulations and enjoy your upcoming honeymoon!
