Lauren and Josh have a way about them that brings you in and makes you feel like family in an instant.  The way they are as individuals; solid in their self, giving in their nature, gentle in their soul, and commanding in their faith, makes being around them an absolute pleasure.  To be a part of their marriage journey, has been a gift.  We were given a perfect early summer day for a wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix.  Their attendants, family, and guests all had the best attitudes in anticipation for this union.  Lauren and Josh took a moment to pray together (from opposite sides of a door) just before the ceremony, that took the anticipation to a new height and led to great emotion as Lauren walked down the aisle.  Tears flowed.  As soon as these two touched, you could feel the connection, the joy, and the love they have for each other.  The rest of the day and into the evening echoed with happy laughter and touching family speeches.  We rounded out the evening with a sparkler send-off and watched them drive off to begin their lives together.
