Ruth and Jonathan's Wedding | Anchorage, Alaska

When I met with Ruth and her mom last fall, I was struck by this beautiful girl with the soft voice. On her wedding day she was even more stunning than I had imagined for her wedding day. Jonathan couldn't take his eyes off of her. Her smiles and laughter radiated through the day. Seeing her in her wedding dress surrounded by all those who love her, was sweet to see. She graciously hugged and chatted with everyone but especially the small children that ran to give her hugs every few minutes.

Ruth and Jonathan were married last year before he was deployed to Afghanistan. They decided to wait for their celebration until after his return. And Jonathan's return from a tour in Afghanistan to his bride was something to be celebrated. They were surrounded by friends and family from across the globe and the guys from his army unit as they exchanged their vows with the richest of love and dedication. O'Malley's on the Green looked amazing thanks to the coordination by the talented Karla of Karla Delong Weddings.

It was an honor to be a part of your day, Ruth and Jonathan!
