Holding hands around a corner under the stairwell, Nate and Lizzy Cramblet were absolutely beaming with joy. They closed their eyes, glowing with happiness, and at that moment, took time to dedicate their marriage, their wedding day, and their guests to the Lord.

"Would you be glorified today? Would you help us to serve and bless everyone here?"

As I watched them pray over their wedding guests that day, I knew that this day was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked in the door, Nathan and Lizzy were loving on us and the entire bridal party. They were constantly asking Rachel and me if we needed anything: whether it was stopping in the middle of their lunch to invite US to eat, offering us breaks to grab water in the 90-degree weather, or simply thanking us over and over for being there! They took the time out of their beautiful, special day, to serve, and that is something I will never forget about this lovely couple!

That was just one of the things that immediately struck me about this couple: that they live to bless and love other people.

As Nate and Lizzy planned their wedding in the midst of a pandemic, I couldn't respect them more for the grace and joy they met every single challenge with. They knew that this was about far more than a pretty wedding day: this was their public commitment to each other, to God, and they wholeheartedly wanted nothing more than to see His name glorified. They rolled with every punch that was thrown their way with such grace and strength, trusting in the Lord's plan, and their wedding day was nothing short of pure magic.

a love note to Nate and Lizzy...

I cannot tell you how much of a joy and honor it was to be there with you on the most special day of your life! The way that you love God, people, and His kingdom left Rachel and I speechless. We walked away from your day talking about it and how much we loved serving you!

It's our prayer that these photos bless you almost as much as you've blessed us. You are such an example of a godly, loving couple, and we love you!
