I recently had the privilege to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for a wonderful Colorado Springs wedding.   TJ, a great friend of ours, met Stephanie through a mutual contact.  As word started to spread of their interest in each other it was no question that she was "the one". The one that makes TJ smile from ear to ear, the one that brings out... that laugh - you know the laugh that bubbles up from his toes on up?!  This wedding was nothing short of big smiles, joy and tons of laughter.  

This couple opted for the tradition of not seeing each other prior to the wedding, however, they made it a point to pray with each other before.  

Then came the ceremony.  Such a beautiful view, and a unique location at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  

The chairs were set, the music played and the beautiful bride to be, Stephanie, made her way down the aisle to a song that she wrote and recorded for her soon to be husband as a surprise!  Tears of joy and loved poured out from the groom and there was not a dry eye in the audience as she made her way down the aisle. 

Finally, the long awaited Mr. and Mrs Persichetti!!!

Beautiful personal details all around them.

...and they lived happily ever after.

Congratulations TJ and Stephanie! We are so happy for you and wish you nothing but happiness and kids.... lots of kids.....  Just kidding!
