"John and I first met 29 years ago, when I was 17 and he was 24. He said something to me ... neither of us can remember what ... and somehow the spark it created never died. It was truly just a moment in time, we didn't know each other at all, but over the years, the corners of our lives kept touching through family and friends. Eventually, I realized the air just felt different when he was in the room. The experiences we had lived separately finally, somehow, brought us together, and we knew, without any doubt, that it was meant to be. The feeling that we had a history was strong, even though we had seen each other just a few times.
We chose a vintage, 1950's Retro era engagement ring, which seemed to reflect the history we felt in our relationship. It was a surprise to learn the wedding ring we selected was also an estate piece. The earrings had been my Grandma Ware's ... I had never worn them before, and knew this was the day ...
Bermuda has seen many Vinton family vacations over the years. When I went for the first time last Thanksgiving, I fell in love. We both knew our wedding had to be in Bermuda ... on the beach ... with our kids. We had waited a long time, it had to be perfect, and it was. Family is everything to us, and sharing that day with our children was one of the best days of our lives.
Thank you for allowing us to be "in the moment"... knowing you were capturing the memories for us. It was truly everything we had hoped for, and so much more."
And thank you - the tenderness between you all was so touching; it was an honour to be a part of your wedding.
