Kendall Wedding

Hi! Welcome to our wedding website! I'm Kelsey, and I'm sharing our story from my perspective: I met Aaron when I was 15 years old! Though we didn't date immediately, eventually, we reconnected and began dating. I knew Aaron was special immediately--he was the one person that simply his presence removed all my anxieties, worries, and nerves. From the first moment, he made me feel completely safe and gave me a sense of "home." We managed to survive long distance dating through our undergrad studies, and we supported each other through graduate programs. With all the highs and lows of a relationship, we chose each other. Now, we've been together 7 years!! Time with Aaron is like a timeloop; on one hand it feels as if we've been together for a life time, and on the other, it feels like no time has passed--no time would ever be enough. Aaron is without a doubt my bestfriend. He is everything good in my life. Though our dating history may seem long to some, our engagement is not--we've been together long enough, and we know exactly what we want--so we're getting married quickly! Aaron and I count the days until we stand in front of our loved ones and closest friends to become one.

Officiate 

From the time Kelsey was a little girl, she dreamed of having her daddy officiating her wedding. Kelsey knows no better man for the job—“there’s no better man that I can think of that I want to marry me. No better man that lives the example of a Christian husband. He lives everyday striving to love my mom the way that Christ loves the Church, which is why they proudly represent 30 years of marriage! His heart is so pure, and he is so full of God that he is the only earthly man that I think is good enough to stand there and unite me and Aaron. Having him up there will not only calm my nerves, but he will remind Aaron and I that marriage is a lifetime commitment and covenant with God.” Though not traditional, Jerry will walk his daughter down the aisle before turning to join the two in marriage.

Things to Do

Registry

What NOT to do

• RSVP and not show up  -you should RSVP. RSVPs are important because they help the bride’s family plan for the correct number of guests. If there is an issue with your RSVP, you should contact the couple. • WEARING WHITE!! -White is a color reserved for the bride and flower girls. If you wear white, it is major fashion faux pas and insult to the bride.Consider wearing neutrals and solids—do not wear white, cream, or a pattern with a lot of white. • Wearing red  -Red is also considered a fashion faux pas. The color red is bold and represents passion. Wearing red is typically an insult to the bride and indicates passion for the groom. •Be on your phone. -The bride and groom put in significant effort to ensure every detail is perfect, and they pay a lot of money for professional photography and videography. Put the phone down and enjoy! •Interrupting a special moment -Some guest may need to leave early, but you must consider the timing! For example, do not interrupt a special moment, like cake cutting, to say goodbye. •Not Dancing  -The couple want to enjoy a fun evening. Join in and dance! •Complaining -This day is about the special couple. Each and every detail was carefully crafted to capture their love. So, put a smile on your face!
