There are fewer events in a lifetime that are as special as one’s wedding day. It can be stressful to plan but the anticipation of the day makes it worth it. The special day can be a blur and leave you wondering the next day what even happened! It’s important to try and soak in every moment of your wedding, as best as you can. To help you remember those moments thank goodness, we have photographers and videographers.
One wedding video that is going around on YouTube and touching the hearts of many is of an Oklahoma couple. Similar to what the videographer says in her summary, if Blake’s Dad’s toast doesn’t make you cry, surely the video of the couple reading their letters from each other will. The video is beautiful, and you can tell so much thought and detail went into this wedding. There are mountains of flowers, and the location is absolutely stunning. The couple even has their dog in some of the shots. Yes, planning a wedding is stressful, but it’s also the most beautiful day of your life. You get to feel like a celebrity for a day. Everyone wants to talk to you, take pictures with you, give you stuff. It’s truly a beautiful moment in your life.
The video opens on a beautiful early morning sunrise, and you hear Blake’s Dad begin to reflect on his daughter’s life. Everyone is always so focused on the bride and groom; we often forget the importance that a wedding day has on parents. Imagine, the children they have spent their lives raising into adults are now officially leaving the nest and starting their own lives. It’s a huge milestone. I love how many women are acknowledging the importance of the day with their Dad’s by doing a first look with the Dad and then the groom. I can only imagine how it probably feels to a Father to see his little girl all dressed up in a big white gown. The emotions are probably dually happy that she’s found a match and nostalgic to the times that she played dress up as a little girl.
Another part of the video that will make you cry is when the couple is reading letters from each other as they are getting ready. It’s so sweet listening to the brief snippets we get of what they said about their feelings for each other. You can tell they are really in love. Not every couple is as good with words, so it is beautiful to see what others do for their wedding day to show each other they care. Some grooms will send flowers, if the couple waits to see each other until the bride walks down the aisle, some of them hold hands around a corner and pray together or just talk. Some couples just use their vows to share their feelings.
Whatever option they choose a wedding day is a beautiful thing because it connects to families and also starts a new one. The last part of the video will be the kicker if you haven’t cried already. Blake’s dad says, “It’s time for me to take that same precious hand that she gave to me, and give it to you.” He then blesses the couple, and the video fades out. The idea of a Father handing over his daughter to a husband may be a little antiquated, but surely every Dad feels that way a little bit. The little life that he has been entrusted to protect for so many years is now in the hands of someone else.
I hope you enjoy this video if not for the emotions than at least for the beautiful details of a stunning wedding!
