The day was filled with more kisses than mason jars and more genuine smiles than cupcakes. Those are my favorite kind of days. From the beginning parts of getting ready and wondering if the groomsmen were going to make it to the church on time to the first dance and emotional speeches by many family members, their day was about more than the small details, it was about the start of their journey as husband and wife. Aaron and Amanda met at Marquette University while attending school and their marriage took it’s first breath at the very same spot where their love story began. The Church of the Gesu was where Aaron’s parents said “I do” years ago and many of their own children have followed in their footprints. With so much family tradition and history among those four walls it was hard not to feel the genuine love and affection these two families have brought to Aaron and Amanda’s day and life together. True joy and adoration beamed from every direction and their wedding was a true testament of what their life together will hold for the future.

Congratulations and many blessings to the newest Mr. and Mrs. Gilling in town!
