I was introduced to John and Karen through a mutual friend, and what a blessing that turned out to be! John and Karen's story was adorable. They met through church friends at a church event and it was love at first sight. They started dating, even though it had to be long distance. This part hit home for me in particular because me dear husband and I had to do long distance for a majority of our dating relationship. So I know the pain of the separation and the true commitment it takes to overcome the obstacles distance can create. John and Karen are huge basketball fans, which showed in some of the details of their big day! The guys all wore basketball shoes, and the bridal party photos would not be complete without a basketball! John and Karen even wanted to recreate a photo from one of their favorite movies Love and Basketball. This day was filled with pure joy and overflowing love. It was something you could feel throughout every moment of the day. Congratulations John and Karen!
