I’d like to think that all of my couples are good matches, but every now and then I come across one that seems like an impossibly perfect fit. It’s like finding the one wild Pokémon worth using your last Poké Ball on (years from now I’ll probably read that sentence and have no clue what I was talking about, I’m not even sure I have a clue talking about it now). Like the Prince finding the one girl that fits the glass slipper. Like Jessica and Alex finding each other at grad school orientation. 🙂
Jessica is one of those people that’s like a walking ray of sunshine. It’s rare to see her without a smile, and it always seems effortlessly genuine. It’s hard to feel bad around her. Somehow she even manages to be adorable when tossing her bra across a room.
Before heading over to The Hotel at Auburn University for the reception, I hopped into the limo with the bridal party so we could take a few pictures on and around campus. When Aubie the Tiger pulled up behind us, I took it as a sign that our little side trip was a good decision. It was like the SEC football gods knew there were two Auburn grad students getting married and *POOF* they sent their blessings in the form of a furry mascot. Didn’t expect him to show up in a Toyota though. 😉
You might have seen this Toomer’s Drugs shot featured on the Auburn University Graduate School Facebook page:
Since Jessica’s dad had passed away, her grandfather stepped in for the traditional father/daughter dance. It was an emotional moment for everyone – sad in some ways, and happy in others. Truly bittersweet, and a feeling I can understand completely.
Jessica & Alex: Thanks for making sure I didn’t get kidnapped by the limo guy. 😉 We need to have doggy play date for Mason and Watson sometime now that Watson’s bigger and Mason won’t squish him!
