Seven years before their New Hampshire backyard summer wedding, Missy and Colin met when they were both invited to a small gathering by their friend and their love blossomed from there… Colin fell in love with Missy’s determination, reticence, caring personality and beauty… And Missy couldn’t help but fall in love with Colin’s funny, trusting and tender ways. Their love grew deeper despite Colin serving two – nine month Navy deployments for our country. Between deployments Missy moved to Washington state where they loved to travel together. One of their favorite spots was Twin Lakes which was the perfect place for them to find secluded places to relax and swing from rope swings.

Their New Hampshire Backyard Summer Wedding

In July of 2017, Missy put on a white dress and Colin, a navy blue suit as they prepared to marry in front of their closest friends and family at their New Hampshire backyard summer wedding. When they said “I Do”, cheers floated to the peak of the tent and their love seeped into the hearts of their guests. Their married lives began with a kiss but their love was destined far before that moment.

Missy and Colin, thank you for being two of the most amazing people. Ever. You are what’s right and good in the world… And we’re honored to have been a part of your perfect wedding day. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both! Much Love and Appreciation…

The wedding day began with preparations at Missy’s childhood home. Here good friend did a fabulous job with hair and makeup. Missy, you are a STUNNING bride. Time for a wedding day selfiie… Just when we thought Missy couldn’t get any prettier, her aura became even brighter from happiness when she put on her wedding dress… All smiles… We love the moment when a dad sees his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress… And this moment didn’t disappoint… Finishing touches before the ceremony… Missy paid extra attention to all of her wedding details and personalized them every step of the way… Good people hang out with good people and Colin is a perfect example of this notion… This group of guys were top notch… Funny, kind, and all around great people to be around… Weddings in July near the NH seacoast are usually peaceful and glorious in the summer months, so while the bride worried the weather wouldn’t cooperate, it eventually did. In the best of ways. Almost as soon as the ceremony started, the sun peeked throught the clouds and shined down on this amazing couple. Officially Mr. and Mrs… In a matter of seconds, Colin can bring out the best laugh in Missy as seen here… The First Dance… Beautiful, heartfelt speeches… …And lots of toasts Paul’s Catering provided a great feast…
Once Colin and Missy hit the dance floor, the party officially began… Nothing better than a wedding day swim in the pool! Now this is a groom who’s happy to be married… Party Time DJ’s did an outstanding job…Happily Ever After…
