LMP Giveaway: Lindsay Letters Gold Foil Vows Print

"...Wedding vows are not a declaration of present love but a
mutually binding promise of future love." Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

To have & to hold.

For better or worse.

For richer or poorer.

In sickness & in health.

All the day of my life.

The words you share & repeat at the altar, those promises you make before God, your family & friends on your wedding day are such a beautiful picture of the covenant God designed marriage to be. The binding commitment between a husband & a wife that sets the foundation for their lifetime.

Joy. Sweetness. Overwhelming love. The emotions we feel in that moment are only part of what the holy matrimony between a couple represents. Tim Keller says it best:

"Rather, in a wedding you stand up before God, your family, & all the main institutions of society, & you promise to be loving, faithful, & true to the other person in the future, regardless of undulating internal feelings of external circumstances.”

I'm so excited to give away this gorgeous Lindsay Letters print! This beautiful gold foil writing, as a collaboration with the fabulous Southern Weddings Magazine, is a wonderful reminder of the vows we've made - or will soon make - to the one we love. The giveaway starts NOW & runs through next Thursday!

Hanging out with newly engaged couples (like myself now. wahoo!!) is seriously one of the greatest things. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with & photograph a couple couples. Ha, that is 2 couples, for Northern Virginia Mag that have been featured for print.

Last fall's Dream Wedding winners Carol & Nhi  tasted lots of yummy cupcakes from Cupcakes Actually & decided upon a groom's cake (Redskin themed) at Swiss Bakery for their upcoming nuptials. Such delicious treats with a really fun couple :)

I tagged along with this year's Dream Wedding lovebirds Lauren & Kelby for their cake tasting, plus we got tons of adorablely adorable photos strolling around Fairfax Corner. As part of my very final assignment for the Mag, we also put together a He Said, She Said flash-fire quiz to see how well they knew each other.
