Melissa & George | Riverside Receptions | Geneva, IL Wedding Photographer

Sometimes things don't go according to plan on your wedding day. There are many unpredictable factors, some that are totally out of your control, like the weather, and some that you only have mild control over, such as your wedding party, especially when you have little ones. When you decide to pick the people who will stand up with you, its not just about who you choose to witness your marriage, but its also about the people who you love the MOST and want to hang out with all day. That group of individuals you would pick if you said "If I had one day to enjoy, who would I bring with me..." That list of people may change and grow over time, but the ones that were with you on your wedding day will always be special. If there are special children in your life, including them can, of course, add a little drama to the day. However, the delightful adventure children can bring can be one of the most fun parts of a wedding. They are enchanted by the fantasy and unfazed by the social "rules". They are candid, and emotional and adorable. Melissa and George had three little ones they brought with them (along with the older crowd) and I can't imagine their day could have been any more beautiful and full of love. I can honestly say I felt they enjoyed EVERY part of their day, whether it was according to plan or not... and that is how life in general should be lived. <3
