My brother got married this past weekend (elegant. lovely. relaxing leisurely with loved ones). Waiting for the reception to start, Brian took little C. outside where we just had the ceremony to walk around. While outside, Brian had the idea to snap a few pictures of him and little C. “walking down the aisle.”
Someday, when little C. isn’t so little anymore and she is getting married, we will pull out these photos. I can “see” that day in these pictures. And all of a sudden, time disappears and little C.’s wedding day sits right next to today. And I can “see” all the years ahead of us – of the first day of school, summers in Boston, catching lightening bugs, falling down, getting back up, a bagillion bath times, first love, going to college, calling to tell me she’s engaged. And I can “see” all the years behind us — filled with all the memories we are creating today and everyday of her life.
today is the day
let's go honey, take my hand
wait a moment dad
It's ok, sweet love
YESSSS!

I am in LOVE with that first picture of them. Made me tear up for obvious reasons 🙂 xoxo
Love you, Maria.

What a wonderful idea, no?! That Brian…he is so creative! And my father-in-law did a great job taking the pics. All of this just on a whim. Makes my heart smile…and tear up.
sweet tears, thank you for sharing this! Beautiful lisa and brian!!!
thanks, sweet jenn. i knew you’d get the part about the days “touching” each other, blending, sitting next to each other, time not existing.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Awww, thanks Angela.
These pictures are beautiful, but very sad becasue they make me face reality. I don’t want our babies to grow up 🙁
Oh girl, I so hear you. some days drag on forever…and then there are moments when i’m like “oh my gosh, this is going too fast. College etc will be here before i know it. it reminds me to soak it all up. glad i’m in all this with you!
Oh Lisa – those pictures just brought tears to my eyes. What a precious moment you captured. Thanks for sharing.
