There is no other way to describe Brian and Sibel’s wedding than the perfect day. The Chicago weather was on our side as the April sun decided to shine and give us a warm Saturday. I was giddy with excitement when I met up with the Sibel and the bridesmaids in the morning. Sibel had thought of just about every detail including having her and all her bridesmaids in the cutest floral robes as they primped for the day. But one of my favorite things about the morning was seeing the perfect shoes Sibel had picked to say her “I do’s” in. You see, Sibel’s shoes play an important role in the story of Brian and Sibel. If you missed their engagement session or haven’t heard the story, these two first met because of a pair of red shoe’s Sibel was wearing, so it was important that Brian love her wedding shoes. ;)

The day only got better as friends and family gathered into a small room at Wilder Mansion for a very intimate ceremony. The was a ceremony full of everything you could hope for at a wedding. There were tears of happiness, lots (and lots) of laughter and the most beautifully written vows to one another. The room radiated with LOVE, and you could just feel how magical the moment of promising forever to one another was for Brian and Sibel.

Friends said that what makes these two special is that each has remained themselves while being together … one of the most important things in a relationship. They are best friends who love to laugh with each other, but who also share sweet little moments together. The balance each other out.

Sibel + Brian – From the bottom of my heart, thank you for letting me share in your happily ever after. You both are so sweet and beyond fun. I am so grateful that I could be the one to tell the story of your wedding day. I hope that you are enjoying all the pasta and pizza in Italy, and I wish you both nothing but a lifetime of love and happiness. love and xo – Brittany
