The Wedding of Martha and Bennett

October 1, 2022

My mom and I had a very special time planning the details. The lily of the valley bouquet that was mirrored in the lace of my wedding dress, the pistachio green color and sprinkles motif, the St. Paul’s full choir singing during our ceremony — all helped to ground me during the day. Also, the support and love of both our families, especially Bennett’s sister, greatly lessened any stress and kept us focused on one another.
