Ellie & Jordan | a Downtown Grand Rapids Wedding

Wedding

This is a post I’ve been waiting to create for a long time! As I’ve mentioned before I called this day since the first time I met Jordan at my wedding 3.5 years ago! 😉

I’ve known Ellie for as long as I can remember; I’ve always looked up to her and thought of her as my older “sister”. I have endless amounts of memories with the Devroy’s (including soccer games, sleepovers, and camping) and I am so grateful to have them as a part of my life. I get teary eyed just thinking about how welcoming they are and for allowing me to be a part of such memorable times in their lives. I truly wouldn’t of wanted anything else! My heart bursts just thinking about how I got to be a part of both Kelsey & Ellie’s BEST day!!

Now on to the most beautiful wedding day… it was a blur; I was in tears for the majority of the day, but how can you not be when you have such a beautiful love story, a stunning couple, adorable private vows, a meaningful celebration, and so many loved ones present!

My husband & I just parked the car and Ellie comes out in her robe yelling with excitement the morning of the wedding! If that’s not a sign of a GREAT day I’m not sure what is! I walked into the getting ready room and I felt like I’d walked into a DREAM! It had the most perfect white walls, neutral tones and beautiful natural light! Gosh, it was perfect!!

Not only did Ellie look absolutely flawless in her gown, but Jordan looked very handsome in his light blue suit! I loved all the comments he received from people walking by and my favorite comment was how he should be on a GQ cover magazine!! They are already ridiculously adorable and their outfits just added to their cuteness.

My favorite memories of the day include: their first look completed with reading their own personal vows to each other (cue all the tears!), witnessing and feeling how present Ellie’s best friend, Ashley Ford was (all day), the personal touches Ryan Cain made during the ceremony, how excited every single person was for Ellie & Jordan and seeing five of our past Tauri Baum Couples and their families this weekend. We beat the record of having the most at one wedding and it warmed my heart seeing all of them again!

Now that the big day is over, this year has seemed like a beautiful blur, and we couldn’t be more excited for these two! I am going to miss chatting details with Ellie & Jordan, but I am so excited to watch their marriage grow!!

Ellie & Jordan, we love you both!!! It’s such an honor to be a part of your life, and we loved being with you for every second of your celebration this weekend. This is just the beginning!! Welcome to the married couples club!!!! As I’ve already told you, it’s the best one to be a part of 😉 I hope you’re enjoying ARUBA and the beginning of this new adventure! We hope you love re-living your gorgeous day!!
