“A wedding at the zoo?!?!”

Sarah + Chris heard that a lot as they were planning, but they knew what they were doing– and it was incredible!  They said ‘I do’ in the middle of a rose garden in full bloom, then danced the night away under twinkling lights in the pavilion in the center of the park.  The soft pink tones and hints of rose gold made my pink-loving heart sing, and their sweet families made the whole day special.  Also, I may or may not have sobbed during the special dances.  Sarah and her son surprised Chris with the song “He Didn’t Have To Be” by Kenny Chesney– a thank you to Chris.  I was the only one losing it– it was kind of hard not to!
