The weddings I love the most are the ones where there are lots of Love Notes. To me, a love note is not just a written message, but rather it is the references not just to your Beloved, but also to your family and friends. It anchors everyone to your wedding, gives them a sense of ownership and makes them all the more grateful that they are your family. Katie and Sean chose beautiful\u00a0St. Mary\u2019s Chapel<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the grounds of\u00a0St. Mary\u2019s School<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0where her grandmother attended. (It\u2019s one of my favorite wedding venues in the Carolinas. I am obsessed with its intimacy and quality of light.) Their rockin\u2019 reception followed at Cobblestone Hall just down the street.
\nAnd stay tuned to Katie\u2019s bridal session in the next few days. You know how I love a brave bride and Katie definitely embraced that concept! Just wait until you see them. She is spectacular!<\/p>\n

\n1. Katie\u2019s carefree spirit, upbeat attitude and positive outlook on life. No matter the situation, she always finds the positive in things\u2026whether that be the unfortunate scenario at hand or some negative person you could be dealing with. She always finds a way to keep a smile on her pretty face.<\/em>
\n2. Katie is extremely generous, caring, and thoughtful. She always puts others first before herself and goes out of her way to make sure I am happy. She is truly a selfless individual and loves me unconditionally.<\/em>
\n3. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met\u2026inside and out. I think she thinks I\u2019m joking when I tell her she looks the prettiest right before bed and in the morning\u2026but it is the truth\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/em>
\n4. She is extremely talented, handy, and artistic\u2026.3 things I am not and envy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
