FAVORITE MOMENTS

HIS: “When I �rst saw Rebekah coming out of the hotel and walking down the aisle toward me. She was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. In that moment, I felt so completely

blessed that I was about to spend the rest of my life with her.”

HERS: ”Chris picking me up so that I could dance with him on one leg because my prosthetic was hurting so bad

a�er the ceremony.”

WEDDING SNAFU “When we almost missed our �ight to Jamaica and had to ask

to cut in front of everyone in line, one by one, because we didn’t account for holiday craziness at the airport.”
