On this day – 8 years, 5 months and 4 days since they started dating – these two lovebirds finally made their declaration of love official and became husband and wife!!  Melissa fell in love with Morris Arboretum from the moment she saw it and gosh, is it beautiful!  All of Melissa’s little details that she created and put together were absolutely perfect!  I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day – or a more perfect couple to capture!  Enjoy the sneak peek of the beginning of their happily ever after!! xo
