Chicago, Illinois

The two met five years earlier at a birthday party but bumped into each other while Erica was walking her dog. Jerry found her on Facebook and fast forward to the weekend after Thanksgiving and the two were married and sharing their first dance to a Barry White tune (good choice, if I do say so myself.) I loved how the guests circled Erica in support as she danced alone to her late dad’s favorite country song. I loved how Erica’s nephew walked her down the aisle and I loved how Jerry’s laughter filled the room but he couldn’t hold back the tears while hearing his brother’s toast. Thank you, Erica and Jerry, for sharing your moments so openly with me.
