He pulled her in closer. Then cast his gaze down. Because the tears were starting to swell up now. ShaeLyn whispered something in his ear, and they both burst into laughter. Stephen and ShaeLyn’s first dance was just one of so many beautiful moments I witnessed at their Bountiful Utah temple wedding. It was so evident to me during their formal session, and even more during their wedding, Stephen adores ShaeLyn and ShaeLyn is so, so happy to be with him.

During ShaeLyn and Stephen’s lunch, they told the story of how they met. I was rolling! Stephen is hilarious. And as their families talked about them, I realized even more how amazing these two are. Both the middle of eight children, they have been an amazing part of each of their families. I am so excited that they are their own family together now.

Stephen and ShaeLyn, you two are a match made in Heaven. I love watching you together. Stephen, I love seeing how you adore and dote on ShaeLyn. And ShaeLyn, I love seeing how much joy you bring to Stephen’s life and the lives of so many. I love you guys and am so excited for the wonderful life you get to build together. You two are perfect for each other. Always stay this happy. Congratulations you two.

XO,

Lauren
