Nate and Darci

Darci and Nate’s Wedding Day—A true love story

Written by Mary Ann

When I posted a sneak peak of Nate and Darci’s special day on our Facebook page I said, “Their story has all the makings of a Nicholas Sparks’ novel.”  But thanks to Rich I take back that comment.  Rich says Nicholas Sparks always has a death or some sad event in his novels and for the record Nate and Darci don’t need any of that in their lives!  So I have changed my mind, my all-time favorite romance writer is Jane Austin, so I have decided that their story has all the makings for a modern times Jane Austin novel.

Here is their story, in a very quick overview.  Nate and Darci dated their senior year in high school and their romance included a ring with dreams for a future together clear back then, but young love has a way of growing up and sometimes that includes growing apart.  The two graduated in 1993 and went their own ways including college and careers.  Then one day 18 years after graduation Nate is riding his motorcycle down the street and who does he see?  Yes you guessed it!

So finally on September 20, 2013, Darci walked down the aisle and Nate is waiting for her.  They both looked at each other with the love that Jane Austin would have written about with beautiful worded illustrations.  

Darci was so incredibly beautiful in her gorgeous wedding gown and Nate was so handsome in his tuxedo.

As we gathered in the late afternoon, the weather was perfect and the décor was simply charming.  Darci’s grandfather’s antique car added to the charm and was a wonderful prop for couple portraits.  

As the afternoon gave away to the evening the sunset was breath taking and the candles surrounding the ceremony took over the task of illuminating our bridal couple adding romantic lighting to the “I do’s”.

Immediately following the ceremony the celebration began!  There was a true tangible joy in the air.  It was fun hearing conversations about how exciting it was to see Nate and Darci together and the toasts echoed everything that was being said by the attendees. 

As the evening gave away to the night, Nate and Darci jumped into her grandfather’s car and drove away with the smiles

still radiating from the wedding couple and all of the guests.  It was an honor to witness and photograph their special day and for the record we were smiling all evening as well.  Why even Jane Austin would have been smiling knowing that their love story was a novel in the makings!

Congratulations!
