This is how I experienced Mikaela and Branden’s beautiful, honest and fun wedding day.

Two people that survived deeply difficult moments that humbled them, and made them stronger. Made them better parents, and people in general.

They also inspired one another to believe in love again. Then, they built a new family, together.

This is the point at which I burst into tears. When my beautiful friend walked down the aisle with her baby boy, who was beaming with pride.

Look at him. <3

Mikaela: you are resilient, beautiful, fun, loving, warm and accepting. You are a safe harbor. A woman of character. An exceptional mother, friend, and wife.

Branden: You’re gold. I’m so thankful she found you.  

**Mikaela and I have been friends for over a decade and she inspired a major portion of my career so YEAH I specifically dote on the bride more here.

But that’s why Branden is great. He wouldn’t have it any other way. <3

Congratulations, I love you all.
