Hilary and Janet started their wedding adventure with Cycle North Carolina where they biked from the mountains to the beach of this beautiful state. The signs saying, “bicycling bride #1” and “bicycling bride #2” on the back of their road bikes during the race added a wavering amount of exhilaration for what was going to be the most exciting day of their life, their wedding day. Once they reached the finish line in Corolla, North Carolina where family and close friends waited to greet them, we all traveled to the wedding location, a beach house in Nags Head. A weekend full of love, celebration, sand, sunrises, and an ocean front view was a perfect combination for this wonderful event.

Hilary and Janet knew from the beginning of their wedding planning that they wanted an intimate setting and a unique experience. This beach house certainly did the trick and it was hard not to tear up during their ceremony. Love and joy was seeping out from everywhere. Their gorgeous blue wedding dresses stood out amongst their guests, who were asked to wear white. The wind, with it’s gentle touch, added to the movement of positive energy and happiness that surrounded us. The celebration even continued onto the next day. As we all probably would have guessed considering how they began their wedding experience, their celebration was concluded with a bicycle ride off into the world as a newlywed couple and a just married sign. You see, just because the North Carolina law currently says this love and marriage will not be recognized does not mean it is not recognized by the people that really matter to them. Love is love.
