it’s the little things

this is what makes a wedding day – for me anyway.

liam proposed to liz exactly a year before their wedding day in florence, italy.

the tux he wore on the Day was the same tux he wore when he proposed.

the jewelry liz wore was left to liam’s future bride by his mom before she passed.

the watch that liam wore was the same watch that his mom gave his dad on their wedding day.

the battery in the watch died shortly before the wedding, so liam changed the time on it to say 2:00, the time of their ceremony.

it still says 2:00.

as a wedding gift, liz gave liam two things:
-a pocket square she made out of a piece of her dress
-a pair of cuff links made out of two pieces of map. one had a map of florence, the other a map of st. catharines.

liz and liam got married in st. catharines.

and they are so happy.
