Wedding days can be incredibly stressful. From the years of planning to the last-minute details, there are so many things to worry about on your wedding day that it can sometimes get overwhelming.
For this reason, I tell every couple that I work with to plan on something going wrong on the day of and make sure they don't let it get to them and ruin what should otherwise be one of the happiest days of their lives.
That advice has never proven more right than with Rebecca and Kelly's August wedding in Warwick, Rhode Island.
With a ceremony right on the water on a beautiful Rhode Island summer day, Rebecca and Kelly's wedding was going flawlessly. And then the power went out right before their first dance.
This is an event that some couples would have let ruin their night. But Becky and Kelly aren't like some couples. Instead, they smiled, shrugged their shoulders and had a beautiful first dance lit only by a setting sun in the distance.
I like to think that positive mindset paved the way for the power to come on moments into their parent dances but, truth be told, it probably had nothing to do with it. What it did do, however, was ensure that nothing could dampen the spirit of one of the happiest couples I've ever seen and one of the most emotionally satisfying weddings I've ever been a part of.
Rebecca and Kelly's wedding day may not have been perfect but it was perfectly them and it was a day neither they nor I will soon forget.
