Flashback to this sunny beach day with these two 🩵 Can’t believe it’s already here! Today they’re becoming Mr. & Mrs., surrounded by their favorite people—and I’m so lucky to be part of it.

Today we get to celebrate my niece marrying the love of her life 💚 here’s to their love, their faith and all their strength coming together today. I love you both!
