Jeff and I met Midge over Skype and just fell in love with her. You can just feel her friendliness and warmth right away. Some people take some time to be comfortable with, and that’s fine, too. It’s part of our job to make people comfortable around us, and I like to think we do it well. But with Midge, it was easy and natural. And meeting her in person on her wedding day for the first time, I felt like we’ve been friends for years. Also, I did not want to stop taking pictures of her. Seriously. I could have shot her for days.
Lennard and Midge together is pretty much the happily ever after a lot of young girls dream of, I think. He’s the calculus geek who’s also a jock and a musician, and she’s the cheerleader and prom queen. He’s her first boyfriend. How do you even get more perfect than that, right? But more than that though, it’s the realness and how down-to-earth these two are that bowl me over. It’s how she laughed out loud when he cried upon seeing her walk down that aisle, and how they high-fived when they met at the altar. Who does that?? It’s adorable! I told Jeff that should we ever have a daughter and she fell in love, I hope it would be with someone who makes her this happy.
I’ll forever remember their wedding because of all the 90s songs they played at the reception. I was editing their on-site slideshow while they were having dinner, and the songs playing were making me sing along. A woman nearby exclaimed, “Ano ba ‘tong mga kantang ‘to?!” (“What kind of music is this?!”) There was a collective hush in the general area. Then she went on to say, “NAPAPAINDAK AKO!!!” (“IT’S MAKING ME WANT TO DANCE!!!”) Laughter all around, followed by an insane amount of dancing. Excellent playlist, Lennard and Midge, curators of awesome things. We, and everyone else, obviously, had so much fun at your wedding. Thank you for sharing your day with us. Much, much love to you both. ♥
