Melissa and Matt are complete goofballs. And I loved every minute of their wedding because they were SO joyful, kind and hilarious the whole day. Even when it monsooned and the ceremony had to be moved inside. That, friends, is when you know that you are marrying the right person and you're focused more on the journey of marriage than on the perfect details of your one wedding day.

I just have to share this one quote from Melissa because it perfectly encompasses the goofiness and respect these two have for each other:

"Matt is so funny, and we will probably never stop laughing. He doesn't take life too seriously … and he has this ability to make everyone around him feel so special and loved and welcomed."

That is truth right there. Melissa and Matt, you two are really, really special, and I am so incredibly honored to have photographed your day. Keep laughing and keep cuddling your cats. :D
