long distance relationships are not for the faint of heart . they’re not easy, and not for two people who are unsure about each other or not in it for the long haul . it requires infinite love, trust, understanding, patience, commitment . it takes selflessness and intentional pursuit . it requires you to map out communication because you’re in a different time zone than they are .
aaron + katie, against their personal views + wishes, just couldn’t help but take the plunge and date long distance . for 2 years they worked at it, until they just couldn’t anymore . the distance is a weary road . it wore them down and out and they called it quits .
luckily their love + devotion + passion + obsession with each other was still there and a few months later, on Thanksgiving day, Katie flew to see him in Seattle . It was there in the airport he greeted her … with a ring . & now they’ll never be apart <3
//
these two are something else . insanely good looking + stylish (you’ll see with their details + reception styling) . incredibly gracious + kind (the most devoted friends who surround them are evidence of this , including the most fun bridesmaids pics ever) . hilarious, charismatic, and ridiculous fun to be around (chest bumps, champagne chugging, butt grabbing, face licking, all things pure joy) .
a + k, thanks so much for having us and letting us be a part of your cool + inspirational lives . love you guys .
