Nora & Jared | Micro Wedding & I Do BBQ
“You know those people who finish each other’s sentences? We’re not those people – we’re the people who utter the same sentence at the exact same moment about the exact same thing without any prompting. It’s bizarre and wonderful.” -Jared & Nora
After having spent two days with Nora & Jared (or Nored, as they are affectionally known) I can say that this is most definitely, an accurate statement. These two are so fantastically connected, it is hard to even wrap your head around.
Nora & Jared | Micro Wedding & I Do BBQ
Jared & Nora decided to have a micro wedding & I do BBQ weekend. On day 1, Jared, Nora and a handful of their closest people gathered at their family home in Annapolis, to get married at the very same spot where Jared asked Nora to be his wife. Then, on day 2, they gathered with even more of their loved ones, to celebrate at their parents’ Annapolis home, for what Nored referred to as their “I do BBQ”. There was lawn games, a fire pit, dancing and a LOT of love.
The love their families share for them is beyond measure. Nora wore her mother’s wedding gown; a gown so timeless and beautiful that I hope another generation will walk it down the aisle. I think my favorite moment though, was during the toast from Jared’s mother. Through tears, she kept saying how as a parent, you just hope your child will grow up to be happy- truly happy. I think every parent can relate to that hope. She then continued to reflect on how she knew Nora was the one for Jared right away, and how happy she was when she knew that Jared also knew. Momma always knows. Everyone should have someone who makes them as happy as Jared & Nora make each other.
Congratulations, Nored!
