It doesn't get much cuter than these 2!

The second wedding that I am so devastated that I missed this past Saturday is that of the most precious couple on the planet. Seriously. Not exaggerating. Spend 5 minutes with the 2 of them, and you'll see. They love each other SO much. No doubt about it. I could seriously sit here and type forever about how adorable they are. You may remember my post about throwing her a shower, where I expounded on their adorableness... you get the picture. But just in case you don't.... this one pretty much sums them up.
I had always said that I would not miss their wedding... before I knew that we were moving to the other side of the world 2 months later and would be traveling all over the place all summer... so one more flight to Houston wasn't possible for me :( I seriously hated not being there. I wish I could have seen their faces when they saw each other for the first time- maybe more than any other couple ever. I wish I could have heard their sweet vows and Maggie's precious little voice cracking as she held back tears (or let them flow)..... someone will have to let me know. But instead, I sat and prayed for them during their ceremony from afar..... really, really, really sad that I wasn't there. BUT I can't imagine how joyous of an occasion it was!!! And now they are honeymooning it up before they come back home and move to the BIG APPLE together!.... Where might I add, Jonathan has pretty much the SWEETEST job ever with the NFL! But seriously, I am SO excited to see how they continue to grow together in their relationship as husband and wife together in the big city!
Maggie has been SUCH a huge blessing in my life during my 3 years at Vanderbilt. She's the person that no matter what kind of a day you are having, you'll walk away from time with her with a smile on your face. I'm positive that everyone who knows her would say the same. She's amazing.
And so is her guy. Again, not exaggerating.... I was astounded by the way that her pursued her. He should write a book on how a BG-like man pursues a woman. Maggie never doubted for one second that he loved her unconditionally, yet he did the most amazing job of guarding her heart and drawing such healthy boundaries in their relationship. I have never seen a guy in college pursue a girl the way that Jonathan did. For all you guys out there wondering how to pursue someone... Jonathan Payne is your man. I'm laughing now... what guy is ever going to read this... my husband doesn't even read it.... so GIRLS, point your guys to Jonathan. He wont let you down : )
I love you guys.
Joyfully celebrating the Paynes,
