In the early hours of Sydney’s wedding day, she took the morning to take a stroll along Sullivan’s Island, her favorite beach in Charleston, SC. The one where, not much more than a year earlier, her fiance, Stephen, proposed and asked her to be his forever. This was more than just the next step for this sweet couple, it was a promise to one another that they wanted to share their lives, both the good days and the bad days, together. And on this sunny morning of the very day they have been waiting for, Sydney need to take a moment of quietude to reflect upon the day ahead. She was incredibly grateful for the family and friends who gathered together and supported their love over the years. She and Stephen had worked hard in their relationship to get to this point and know, like all strong couples, know that they will have to work hard to maintain it. The sun seemed to smile as it broke over the horizon with the waves dancing as they waved hello to their old friend, for today would be a day of joy and happiness. And as the bride to be ate her light breakfast of cheese and pastries amongst the sounds of the crashing waves, she knew that their entire lives have been waiting for this point and tonight, they would celebrate!
