It was such an honor to be a part of Bailey and CJ's beautiful wedding day! Their story is one of true love and patience, as we learned that the two go way back to when they were kids-Bailey 12, and CJ 16. Bailey admits to having had the biggest crush on CJ all that time ago, but of course with the age difference at the time, they both had their own lives and paths, and were only acquaintances.
As years went by, they would still see each other in common company, and Bailey says the crush maintained all along! Eventually, at 19 and 23, they reconnected and really got to know one another. The crush turned to love, and after 3 years of being together, they planned for their wedding day.
However, their planning came to a temporary halt when they found out they were unexpectedly expecting a baby girl! In August of 2017, beautiful Willow made her debut! Bailey and CJ had already started their wedding plans in motion though, and the two were determined to be married-so they picked up where they left off and started finalizing their plans!
SO-here we are in 2018, and Bailey and CJ were to be married before eager friends and family at Bayley Barn in Pilot Hill! Bailey was gorgeous in her wedding dress which was complimented by a perfect pair of boots. =)
Although CJ and Bailey didn't have a first look before the ceremony, dad got to have a sneak peek!
Baby Willow quickly joined the grand reveal, and we definitely had to get a few photos with Bailey's best gals at the awesome tree swing!
Meanwhile, CJ was at Bayley barn, and was just getting word that his bride to be was on the way! He seemed just a bit nervous, but had his number one helper-his son CJ-there to help him keep his cool.
With word spreading that the bride had arrived, the ceremony was about to begin.
CJ escorted his beautiful sister and mother-in-law to be down the aisle, where he stood to await his bride! Bailey was slowly walked down the aisle as her dad sang to her. His voice was tender and melodic, and the song was a perfect fit. What a wonderful introduction they made as everybody came to their feet in celebration and awe.
As they awaited Bailey, the emotions were high, as tears were hard to hold back.
The ceremony was short, but sweet, as the two shared their vows, exchanged rings, and had their first kiss as husband and wife. Their long awaited union was finally a reality, and they couldn't have looked happier!
With the ceremony complete, nerves seemed to be gone, and everybody wanted to take photos with the newlyweds!
As the evening went on, everybody had a fantastic time as they ate dinner, shared in toasts, and danced the night away....
We absolutely adored these two, and are so happy for them that they were patient and their day finally came! And, that way, Willow got to a part of their special day too!
