Wedding Date on Jan 18, 2020

"I think you two were married in spirit in High School and we're just celebrating it today," - Paul Trabulsy Once every once in a while you come across a couple you know has been together across lifetimes. I usually see this in older couples, in their 90's, sharing coffee at their favorite diner every Sunday on the hour. I know someone else is going to see that in Alex and Maria 60 years from now and know exactly what I'm talking about. They've always been each other's plan. Alex laughed once telling me that they each have a veto should the other suddenly want to leave one day and in the many years they've been together, they both still have their vetos. In March 2019 we met at their wedding day reception venue. We sat and recorded messages and strolled around the grounds, imagining what it would all look like on the big day. They were so excited--just knowing all the people they love would all come together just to celebrate them on January 18th, 2020. And Celebrate they did. The party was massive, the weather was perfect, the emotions were heavy. We had been planning for over a year and the day had arrived within the blink of an eye. Through laughs, tears, and nerves they felt it all--took it all in--every beautiful second. So I give you a small glimpse of Maria and Alex, because capturing their complete essence just isn't possible in one 7.5 minute film. I hope their story inspires you to remember that dreams can be found in the most unlikely of situations, like coming in late to English class with a coffee in hand making one boy in the room's head turn just enough to change both their lives.
