The golden sun sank lower in the sky. Sounds of a bustling city filled the afternoon air. The soothing breeze blew lightly at Lauren’s curls. Her engagement ring caught flakes of the sunlight. And John, the man who had given her that ring, her fiance, smiled at her. His hand gently tightened around hers during their sunset engagement session in downtown Tampa. She smiled back at him as they started to walk and laugh together. And with each step, their giggles grew.
But, this laughter wasn’t new. They had a wonderful habit of laughter-filled evenings. Not only because they were best friends, but because they made each other smile in ways no one else could. They had a connection that was full of trust and joy. They understood each other in a very deep and real way. And, no walls stood between them.
So, they laughed.
“Not only because they were best friends, but because they made each other smile in ways no one else could.”
Lauren and John,
You two are the. most. fun. For real! The impromptu dance parties and abundant laughs made the night oh so enjoyable! And, it served as such an amazing reminder of how wonderful you two are together! Your passion, kindness, and fun make you two unmistakably meant for each other! You highlight each other’s strengths and work together so, so well. I cannot wait to help you tie the knot in just a few short months because I know you two will be starting your lives as best friends! (And I can’t wait for some more dance parties! ;)) I’m counting down every second, (almost) Mr. & Mrs. Capille!
