Happy wedding week to Melissa and Jonathan!!! Hooray! I am so, so excited for these two lovebirds as their wedding day quickly approaches, and it’s going to be such a magical, meaningful, and beautiful day as Melissa and Jonathan are married this weekend!

It has been such a joy to get to know them throughout their engagement, and M + J were clearly made for one another! I love how much they complement each other, bring out the best in each other, and have such a strong bond and foundation. Seeing them together is so sweet, and I love the way Jonathan looks at Melissa (as evidenced in their engagement session by the amazing Megan Kerns Photography!). We had Melissa’s bridal portrait session just a few days ago, and WOW. She is so, so radiant, so breathtaking, and so excited — and I can only imagine how Jonathan will react when he sees her for the first time walking down the aisle. There is already so much anticipation and excitement for their wedding day, and I couldn’t be happier that they’re mere days away from becoming husband and wife!

I’m excited to share Melissa’s bride spotlight with you today, where you can learn more about the two of them, their love story, and what they’re most excited about on their wedding day!

2. What are you most excited for about your wedding day? Celebrating with friends and family and starting our lives together.  Do you have a moment of your wedding day that you’re most anticipating?  Walking down the aisle.

4. Are you doing a first look or saving it for walking down the aisle? Saving it – one of the few things we were in complete agreement on!
