How Deep Is Your Love...

Today, we share part one of Matt and Gabby's gorgeous wedding photos.  They actually had three very distinct parts to their wedding, each important and completely different…all so beautiful.

Part one shows the pre-wedding henna ceremony;  a tradition deeply rooted in Matt's Egyptian and Sudanese background.   They say that the darker the henna stains the skin, the deeper the love between the bride and groom. Gabby's was black, and I can't say that is surprising - they are so deeply in love it is inspiring.

The event was so awesome to watch and be a part of, and for American bride Gabby, it was fantastic to see her join in and really get immersed in her husband-to-be's culture.   She had no idea what to expect, and neither did I to be honest, but it really was magical.  Joyful, fun, loud, colourful, reverent, beautiful, and beyond memorable.  So excited to share this with you!
