One day, not so long ago, we were standing in our Love Tree Booth at a wedding show greeting all of the wonderful brides to be. We had the privilege to be introduced to this absolutely beautiful bride, Melissa. We delighted in the thought that she would become one of our brides…and she did!!! The journey we took with Melissa & David, though only 6 1/2 months, gave us a glimpse of how wonderful these two really are. So sincere and loving! We were extremely thankful to have been chosen by them to be a part of it all. Over the months, we anticipated our final date with them…11.11.11. What might come to mind is that she picked such a great date for him to remember, but we’ve come to believe that he is like no other. 11.11.11 really did mark the date of a beautiful new day for them. Everything fell into place and it was magical.
Melissa & David, thank you from the depths of our hearts for choosing us to help you remember your beautiful day!! You two have an amazing future ahead of you and we are thankful to have been a part of the beginning.
love, j&a

Melissa - Girls-how often I think of that first meeting as well. I knew then that someone was watching over me. After the next few months of getting to know you both more and working with you both-I felt at every turn that I was so blessed. You are both so patient, thoughtful, enthusiastic……there is no way a bride could walk away from her big day and not be beyond thrilled with you.
Words will never be thanks enough. I (and David too) am so thrilled….cannot wait to see more. Thankful for seamlessly becoming such a part of our day 11.11.11-though I’m fairly certain we’ll be sharing many more family days with you in the future.
Love you both-M
