They say opposites attract! This statement couldn’t be more true when it comes to these two! Justin is quiet and soft spoken. Marianna speaks her mind and is super out going. When two people like this find each other I believe it speaks so much of their love. It takes a special person to garner the attention of someone soft spoken and not overly out going. On the other hand, to gain the attention of someone who everyone knows and loves, who is receiving attention from everyone, also is special. Justin’s dad said at the reception during his speech, that on the way to a sporting event they got a call to pick up Marianna and a friend. Justin and a couple of his friends were arguing over whose lap Marianna would sit in. I think we know who won that argument, and who eventually won her heart. I love watching a quiet man love on his woman. You know it’s real and you know it’s special. When a person can bring another out of their shell and express emotions openly in front of people… shew!
Marianna grew up on the Eastern Shore. Her family’s legacy is there and has several home places on the peninsula. One of her great, great, great grandmother’s was a founder of the church she got married in! How special is that!
She only had two requests… Pictures on the water and pictures with the turqouise buildings (forgive me… i don’t know their technical names! HA!) It was a gorgeous sunny day with the perfect amount of cloud coverage!
Isn’t Marianna GORGEOUS! Oh my goodness… The true vision of bridal beauty! Her dress, her veil, her custom made orchid necklace! She handpicked that orchid and it was dipped in resin to preserve it. Stunning.
I’ve loved getting to know you two! I’ve loved coaxing Justin to “real” smiles and watching you, Marianna, step into this role of wife. I know you two, with SO MUCH love and support have a bright, beautiful life together ahead of you! Thank you for bringing me into your lives during this season! I can’t wait to see you guys around the NNK!!
XOXO
