From The Bride… It was the most perfect day of our lives. I always grew up going to Cape May every summer, and it soon became my favorite place on earth. It was my true happy place. I went through very hard times with health issues and going to Cape May always brought my spirits up. When you are there, all your worries seem to go away. Chase and I met in high school and went on a couple of dates (one of which he still has the movie ticket from!). We parted ways and got back together when we were in our mid-20’s. After four years of dating, Chase took me to the beach across from my house in Cape May, and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Ten months later, we were walking down the aisle in that same exact spot.
The day of the wedding was not ideal. Thunderstorms shook the cars, power went out at our house, and I had never seen rain fall so hard. I was getting ready with my bridesmaids at our hotel room at Congress Hall, and everyone was so worried I would be upset. But all I could think about was that I was going to marry my best friend. The rain kept coming, the lightening and thunder grew louder, but our joy and happiness didn’t stop. One hour before the wedding was to start, the clouds parted ways, and the sun came out. It turned out to be the most beautiful day, and I thank god every day for giving that to us. It was a true miracle and shows how much we truly care for one another.
I come from a family of artists. For ten months, my mom, dad, sister and friends and I made so many details for the wedding. All of the decor from the signage, to the mason jars wrapped in rope, was handmade. My mom and dad could not have made it a more personal wedding. I will never be able to thank them enough. Everywhere you turned you would see one more personal detail that just made you smile. Even though it was a lot of work for 10 months, it all came together on June 6th, and was more perfect than I could have imagined.
This quote from our photographer sums up our day in the most perfect words and it brought tears to my eyes when she sent this to me, “It is always so crazy to me how well I connect with the people I meet along the way in the business. Sean was referred to me by a friend of mine who is from Cape May. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone the first time I knew we would be friends and that her day would be so much fun to be a part of! Their day was exactly that. Pure Joy in every moment of the day! Sean’s dream of a Cape May beach wedding was even on the verge of being rained out just hours before and she still couldn’t stop smiling. Because at the end of the day everyone knew her only dream. That was to marry Chase!
I love the way Chase loves Sean. Troy and I came home talking about what an inspiration their love was to everyone around them. Chase has so much respect and truly honors Sean just the way a husband should. Sean is so patient and kind and returns that respect and honor back to Chase in the best way.
I absolutely loved every moment of their day but one of my favorites was listening to their wedding vows as the sun shined down on what was supposed to be a rained out ceremony. Chase told stories of their younger years and how he fell in love with Sean and brought tears to all of our eyes.
So without further a do I give you a magical day in the sweetest little city of Cape May that Sean and Chase’s amazing families brought to life like no other on that beautiful Saturday in June.”
