I have known Nicole since college, when I joined the sorority she was in. Ever since I have known Nicole, I’ve known her and Mike to be soul mates for each other. By the time I met them in college, they had already been together for years. So on their wedding day I felt an excitement from them both that they were finally getting to marry each other. I always looked at them as a couple that just knew that they were meant to be together forever and that day had arrived. They wanted to keep it intimate and get to spend all of the precious moments together on their wedding so they chose not to have a bridal party, also partly because they love so many friends and family and simply couldn’t choose! Every family member and friend at their wedding was ecstatic for them, from Nicole’s high school friends that helped her get ready to Mike’s brother and his wife!

Their wedding day was relaxed, fun, had continuous laughter and smiles, and most importantly love. Nicole took time doing her own florals for their wedding day and grew all of the succulents herself and put them together in flower boxes for centerpieces. I absolutely adored how much their wedding day reflected the two of them as a couple and now husband and wife! Congrats you two!
