When Jess and Steve decided to get married at the end of October, I’m pretty sure they were hoping for a mild-weathered fall wedding with lots of color and charm. Well, they certainly got plenty of white! As an unexpected Nor’easter swept up the coast, Jess and Steve prepared for the worst. While the forecast began as a soaking rain, Jess began to worry that her outdoor wedding might take a back seat to the contingency plan. But, as the temperature dropped and the raindrops turned to beautiful snowflakes, Jess’s dream of saying her vows in the open air were alive again. More determined than any bride I’ve seen, she was carefully led down the icy aisle (in sandals!)  and met her groom under a gazebo in the October snow. So with the fall in bloom, they got a truly unique wedding that captured the most beautiful attributes of both fall and winter – I’d say that’s beating the odds considerably. And if love and luck have anything in common, I have a very good feeling their marriage is going to be full of wonderful surprises just like this one – in which an inspiring love between two people can find only the good, the beauty and the promise that any situation holds.

Congrats to Jess & Steve on not only becoming man and wife, but for holding tight to their dreams and following the path less traveled. May you always approach your life together with such courage and sense of adventure!
