Chris & Sacha

My step-bro-in-law Chris and his girlfriend Sacha were engaged to get married in September. Then, a couple weeks ago, Chris's mother Sallie got a dire cancer prognosis that made it clear she likely won't have until September. Tears were shed, dates were changed, and the wedding was planned in less than two weeks.

The result was deeply meaningful and demonstrated the simple truth of the day: What really matters with a wedding is that the people you love most are there with you.
