Beardstown Illinois Wedding, The Richards

What an amazing day! From the evening before to the end of the wedding night the fun never stopped! It was a day that we were all excited to be apart of. Darrian and Tc had a few surprises on their relationship journey, like a perfect baby boy…. Neither of them seen that coming! He was the start to something amazing! Watching Tc and Darrian grow into amazing parents and even more amazing people has been a blessing for us all to watch! What makes it even better is watching them grow into the couple that they are today. Their communication with each other, their trust and their love is powerful. They except each other for who they are, nothing more and nothing less. They are a team and they are winning! My second favorite part of a wedding day is watching the grooms face while his bride walks down the aisle, Watching Tc take the deep breath of pure awe, letting it all sink in and his best man Kyler tapping Tc’s arm, just to show his support. Its that time of “wow” its the time when time stops…… nothing matters but her walking down to him in that moment! Darrian’s Grandpa only shed a few tears while marring them, and all 4 bridesmaids around me were bawling! We all danced our way back down the aisle and the fun began! The margarita bar and taco truck were a hit and the Dj was a whole new level of great! Now since you know my second favorite part of wedding days I will spill the beans about my first favorite…The part where I cry…Yes always, I cry at this part…. Father daughter dance. When they started dancing I thought I could hold strong, I was wrong. Chris and Darrian have a bond that is beyond strong.  She is his mini me and she’s daddy’s little girl. Darrian looks up to her Dad like no other and I know that she sees that same amazing father figure in the way Tc parents Q. All together the wedding was a hit! Their love was celebrated and their journey continues! I know I was honored to stand with my best friends and support Darrian on a very special day! I was also honored that I was able to be a help to the amazing Lacie Ralston as she did a great job with the photography ( so excited to see her amazing work!)! I know Darrian and Tc will have a life filled with laughter, support, communication, and love! You two make an incredible duo! I am excited to watch you both continue to grow individually, together, and as a family! P.S thank you Sara for learning how to take a picture with my camera so fast so that I was able to be in some of them! You were such an amazing help through out the whole day!!
