When you work in the wedding industry, you have the benefit of seeing love in many different shapes and forms. You begin to form an appreciation and respect for how love may look and feel to others. Often, it is not love as you, personally, would select, but you learn that love is different for all people and that it is about drawing the one that comforts you closer.
One of my favorite things to witness in this business is the "look of love"; that is the look that couples share when they truly find comfort and security in one another. I frequently have the pleasure of seeing this in several of the couples I am working with now. Sometimes it is a look of total support from a Groom to his Bride as I ask about their preferences for their wedding details. Sometimes it is a Bride searching her Groom's eyes for an answer to a question that she can't quite answer on her own. Sometimes it is the glimpse of shared moments that they feel that only they are privy to. Above all, it is seeing in their eyes the partnership and commitment that brings them to the very subject of marriage and, in turn, gives me reason to be a part of this special time in their lives.
I am one of the lucky few, my job is filled with the "look of love" almost everyday. And I wonder, if when they meet with me, if they too, can see the "look of love" in me - love for a wonderful life and a wonderful career in which I have a sneak peak at the love they share. Lucky me.
