Eduarda + Charles

“I wonder if they would adopt me.”

A sentiment I kept overhearing as I wandered around the tables at Eduarda and Charles’ reception. The gentleman was of course, referring to Eduarda’s fathers’ speech, which then broke into an extravagant performance from family members standing at their tables and singing “all you need is LOVE.” Cue the happy tears!

Love is of course, pretty obvious at every wedding, but this one was special. Love permeated from every being, every gesture, every glance. It was evident in Charles’ decision to pin a sweet note in his tux to commemorate his father. It was in all of the guests and loved ones who had traveled from as far as Brazil to be a part of their big day. It was in the speeches and well-wishes from people who loved these two so much. I feel so honored to have been a part of this special day, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness – C
