Groom’s Father Passes Away | Story of Love and Loss | Chicago, IL

Описание: The groom's father passed away before the wedding and the groom gives one incredible, emotional speech to his bride.

So.. get the tissues. These two have one incredible story. Like... legit out of a movie.

THE LOVE:
They met while at Alex's grandparents bar on November night. He waltzed in and she couldn't keep her eyes off of him - apparently the feeling was mutual. Not too much later, Taylor approached Alex and began talking, laughing and connecting right away. She knew there was something special about him. Their groups split up and went different directions.. but later in the night, they found each other AGAIN at another bar. Taylor took his chance, pulled her in and started dancing with her. She immediately felt those butterflies, which scared her enough to sneak out and leave when he wasn't looking... Cinderella anyone?!

Not long after, they re-connected. Alex said she knew it was love when one night while they each were at different weddings, Taylor drove 30 minutes to her because he just couldn't wait to see her. Then he brought her back to meet his friends and family and the rest is history.

THE LOSS:
The real beauty of the story, though, is that Alex came into Taylor's life "at the most important time" as Taylor says. Sadly, his dad passed away not long after...

Alex was there to support Taylor, and be there for him during one of the hardest moments of his life. His life was so beautifully remembered and celebrated during their wedding and the start of THEIR new life together. He may not have been there in body, but he was there in spirit.

We felt beyond blessed to share in these sweet moments and craft a film based on their incredible story... and we still get emotional watching!
