Dreaming of your wedding day....

How many times have you dreamt about your wedding day when you were a little girl?  The ball gown white dress, the long veil, the prince in the black tux, the beautiful scenery, walking down the aisle holding a bouquet of gorgeous flowers. You get the picture.  But in other eyes, some little girls never dream about their wedding. Truly, that is OK.  You fall in love with your spouse and that dream you had as a little girl has now changed into reality.  That is the great thing about reality, it is not a script. (Though some TV shows make you think it is!) You and your partner choose together how your wedding day is going to be, as a couple.  Maybe now you want to wear a slip dress instead of the ball gown, your flower bouquet now has changed into a button bouquet and your prince wants to wear a linen shirt with flip flops.  There are no rules to YOUR wedding day, make it about you as a couple, not something you were told it was supposed to be.  This photo by Brian Lima Photography captures the true innocence of little girls on a couples wedding day.  One day dreaming of her day, and the other wondering when it is over and she can dance!
