Gosh, we must have been 12… Okay, more like 19, but we sure didn’t act like it. Sprawled out on sleeping bags all over the Heberts’ floor, we shared secrets and giggles. Oh you know.. Just the typical happenings of sorely missed slumber parties with Rebekah, Ashley, Sarah, Amy and Pearl. Conversation ranged from music to the weather, to (let’s cut to the chase) that new guy at church with the long hair. It was that night that we all decided Bekah (hereafter referred to as Bah) and this Jonny kid were perfect for each other. Granted, none of us, including Bah, knew too much of this mysterious fellow. But I think it’s safe to say we sensed a little crushing going on on both sides. “Rebekah Jause,” we teased. “What a perfect name!”
Call us prophetic.. Call us whatever you’d like. But three years later, our sweet friend Rebekah Adams became our sweet married friend, Rebekah Jause. Amy was there. And Pearl was there. Ashley and Sarah were bridesmaids. And me? Well, I took the pictures. :)
Bekah and Jonny, I could never properly blog how thrilled I am that you’ve made it this far. (Secretly, I’m most thrilled that we girls were right all along.) ;) And Jonny, thank you for loving Rebekah as much as her girls do. (Or maybe a little more.) You both radiate Jesus and the love, passion and endurance it takes to live out His perfect plan for you. I’m so excited for your journey!!
Bekah told me she had originally purchased different shoes but came to the conclusion that “They’d be no fun for Alyse to shoot.” (Man oh man, I love my brides!) She got these instead, and boy did she pick right! :)
Dear Bah, please give me your secret to epidermal perfection. Mmkay? K.
Jonny, will you LOOK at the wife you have?! Yowsa..
So in love with these next shots, it’s not even funny. I could eat this light like ice cream. (Chocolate chip cookie dough!)
Beeeeeeep. We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog viewing to bring you Bekah’s niece, Miss Renae Baby Sweetness. Yes, that is her full name. And she truly is the sweetness.
Some pre-ceremony bridals. Here I’m all, “Bah! You’re a bride! You’re getting married! OMG, I’mma cry!”
That’s one fiiiine bridal party if you ask me!
These two have class. And now meet Jonny. Wait for it. Wait for it…
Sweetest moment ever. Jonny seeing the one he’s waited for his entire life.
And this shot just does me in! Such fierce love.
Bekah and Jonny honored their parents with bouquets. Meet two Mrs. Jause’s!
Ahh yes.. The kiss. :)
After sealing the deal, we shot around Saratoga’s Hall of Springs for a bit prior to the reception.
Okay, can I just be blunt and say what everyone has been thinking this whole time? Bekah.. Jonny. Your kids are going to be DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUSSS. Wonder why..
Props to my sweet boy for setting up this shot. :)
Jonny and Bah set this one up themselves. Killer shot guys! ;)
How much more dapperly dapperness can one handle? Not much, I reckon.
The first dance. :)
I think this means Bekah really liked the best man’s speech.
And finally.. Tearin’ it UP. (Please note Kate Duffy busting a move in the background. Love you, girl!!)
Happy Thursday one. and. all. :)
