“And I wonder, when I sing along with you, if everything could ever be this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again” -Foo Fighters
As I sit down to write this blog post I am finding it hard to find the right words. How can I ever possibly describe the perfect wedding day this past Saturday? How can I express the emotions of seeing my little brother marry the love of his life or the joy I felt every moment of the day knowing that Paul and Mati possess the love that most couples dream of and truly happens only once upon a time? Somehow I will try, but just know that what you read here is only a fraction of the beautiful wedding of the new Mr. & Mrs. Doro!
Saturday may have started out brisk, and by brisk I mean about 50 degrees in September in Wisconsin lol, but it quickly warmed up with the hustle and bustle of getting ready. Mati and Paul’s details were a true reflection of their individual personalities. From the little mushroom ring box to Paul’s crazy socks, each item was thoughtfully chosen to help them celebrate and remember this day!
Paul and Mati didn’t want to do a first look but wanted to exchange letters before the ceremony. As we waited for that moment to happen I witnessed my brother in a state of pure love and admiration for his soon-to-be wife, the tears were flowing because he knew the gravity and the joy of the moments shortly to come. I think this moment will forever be one of my favorites of the day and I feel blessed to have witnessed this special second in time!
My Dad performed the ceremony, which was beyond beautiful and perfect in every way. The music was perfectly chosen, and I loved how they connected puzzle pieces for the unity ceremony, and the ring warming was very touching. *give me a sec to dry my eyes*
Bridal party portraits were made possible by the amazing Jacob Wittneben, who was the videographer for the day. We explored the beautiful property around the venue and captured so many amazing poses!
The day ended with yummy pizza, donuts, dancing, speaches, and overall a big party to celebrate Paul and Mati, such a fun night.
Mr. & Mrs. Doro, may God bless the two of you as you daily seek his face and start your new life together. I will forever treasure each and every moment of your wedding and continually feel honored to have captured your big day!
