Kendall & Joci Wedding Preview

Kendall and Joci got married this weekend in Bloomington, IL.  It was such a fun and beautiful wedding!!!  They are actually jr. high sweethearts that survived together through highschool, college, the Airforce and everything else life has thrown at them since then.

It was so awesome to be a part of their day...you could really tell they know each other SO well...and their families do as well.   I don't know that I've ever had the opportunity to photograph a couple getting married that has been together for that long!

We had a little hiccup with a little rain, but it didn't stop the fun.  We discovered that in some cultures rain is good luck and can represent cleansing or stronger unity in the marriage.   The idea is that a wet knot is harder to untie and since marriage is often referred to as tying the knot....bingo!!  The mothers of both the bride and groom were quick to point out that rain was also a symbol of fertility to agricultural societies...I'll just say that the rainbow was awesome and the cooler temps after at the zoo were perfect! ;-)

Congratulations and best of luck to you both, Joci & Kendall!
