June 28 was an indescribable day. One we asked our guests after the fact if they enjoyed as much as we did. Anyone who's done it can attest to what a whirlwind a wedding day is, which is why we scraped together the money it took to get it filmed.
I've been obsessed with Shade Tree since I found them a few years ago. I even did a little work for them. We got our video a few days ago and we've kept it to ourselves to soak it in (and watch it over and over, obviously).
But now it's time to share.
For those of you who were there, thank you for celebrating and blessing us. For those of you who weren't, we hope you enjoy a little slice of our day. It's something we will cherish forever and ever. You can congratulate me on choosing my friend with the best accent to read the letter I wrote to my dad later ;) - merci beaucoup, Charlotte!
And please disregard my freakishly low voice, psycho facial expression during rehearsal, and light-reflecting legs. Looks like I won't be returning to the same spray tan location for my next big event. You sure do learn a lot about your psycho facial expressions during wedding things.
Random aside: During my intense media training a few months ago (sadly, after the wedding), I had to watch a lot of myself on film. It's a humbling experience. I am now very aware of my voice inflections and facial expressions, but, hey, all the better for it.
I don't want to make assumptions, but you might want to prepare the tissues.
Big shout out to my dad for making himself present from the other side. I love you, Kouka.
