“The heart has its reasons that reason knows not of..."

Bride's father and officiant Andy Pickens quoted the philosopher Blaise Pascal during Mason and Emily's wedding ceremony. The quote struck me as poignant, especially as encouragement to be read to a couple being wed. Words cannot accurately express why we all make the decisions that we do, but we know that our heart is our most trusted guide.

I connected with Emily and Mason through mutual friends, as we attended the same college a few years apart. Days after they both celebrated their graduation together, they also celebrated their wedding day in their church, adjacent to downtown Nashville! The view from the building and from the drone are breathtaking. Thanks for having me along for the journey, Mason and Em! So much love to you both.
