James and Savannah’s wedding at Soka University in Aliso Viejo, California, was a breath of fresh air. Think less “fairytale extravaganza” and more “Sunday brunch with your favorite people”, but make it pinterest worthy. The details were perfectly paired with the architecture of the venue.
But this wasn’t just about the laid-back vibes and the stunning scenery (although, let’s be honest, that was pretty perfect). This wedding was about connection. James and Savannah weren’t just saying “I do” to each other; they were saying “we’re in this together” to all of their guests. Their vows weren’t just romantic pronouncements; they were heartfelt thank-yous to the family and friends who’d helped write their love story.
My favorite part: instead of a simple exchange of vows, Savannah and James stood hand-in-hand, surrounded by their closest friends and family, sharing promises not just to each other, but to the whole group. They vowed to support one another, and continue to keep on another in prayer.
As the sun dipped low, casting a golden glow on this wedding at Soka University, James and Savannah twirled under the stars, their laughter echoing through the air. They danced, shared laughs, ate ice cream and ended the night with a bubble exit.
