There couldn't have been a more idyllic place for the wedding of Jim and Heather. Both of them are avid runners and them met in Sand Run Metro Park while running years ago. So they decided to get married at Shady Hollow Lodge in the park. This is a brand new lodge and it is just lovely for a small to medium-sized wedding.

Jim and Heather could not be more in love. What a special wedding this was with immediate family. Heather's beautiful three children stood with the couple. It was easy to see how much Jim loves these kids and will be a great step-father.

Jim's emotional speech before the wedding set the loving tone for the ceremony. It looked like everyone was tearing up a bit - even me! I find that when I marry mature adults they are more emotional when they are saying their vows because they are truly feeling the words. It is so very touching.

This is a loving, sweet couple with a beautiful family. There is no doubt that they will have an exceptional life together. Sending them much love and many blessings.
