North Platte Winter Wedding : Lacey + Tanner

Some say that ‘love at first sight’ is silly but to Lacey and Tanner it’s real. The moment they met, they knew. It felt right. They felt right.

Fast forward a few years, Lacey was working a night shift at Starbucks. A customer came in around closing time. She asked, ‘Are you Lacey?’ Lacey said yes and wondered why…she didn’t know who she was. Then the customer handed her a small envelope and told her not to open until she got home.

It was torture! Lacey still had a little over an hour before she was off. As soon as her shift was over, she rushed home in excitement. When she arrived she was escorted to her backyard. The mood was set with twinkling lights and the glow of the fire pit. She sat down next to Tanner to open the letter only to find it blank.

He looked at her and said, ‘I could never put into words how much I love you.’ and then pulling out a little silver box with their initials and the words “forever and ever ++” engraved in it, he asked her, ‘Will you marry me?’

Lacey and Tanner, you are stunning. Your love is to be admired. You are such a great example of not only true love, but that of which a relationship is made up of…respect and happiness. Thank you for the honor of documenting your first day as husband and wife.

love & pixels,
ashley nicole
