St. Ignatius Boston College and Fairmont Copley Plaza wedding – Katie + James

Weddings are fascinating to me because for this one day, all the feels come out. It’s a day where people willingly stand up (sometimes a bit of coaxing is needed) and profess their love to their friends and family. Can you imagine a world where these sort of emotions ran freely a bit more often? monthly? weekly? Maybe that’s too much of the feels… haha!  Either way, this wedding certainly had incredible loving relationships – ones that have lasted quite a while. ie: Jamie and his little brother, Mike, who is “the best brother any guy could ask for”… or watching Katie’s parents on the dance floor. Her dad actually picked up his wife, squeezed her a bit, and spun her around. I want that for my 25+ year marriage! I believe that these beautiful friendships are a testament to the kind and genuine natures of Katie and Jamie. Christie, Katie’s maid of honor, have been friends for over 20 years. The two could reminisce for hours about funny childhood stories. The day before Katie and Jamie’s wedding, Christie wrote a letter to her best friend. She wrote, “Today marks the beginning of an ew chapter, one you will write with James, but before there was Jamie, there was ‘Katie + Christie’.” She talks about how happy she has been the past week recounting fond memories and how relieved she is that Jamie is taking her place as the best friend.
