Brandon said, “I do”!
This summer brought us one of the sweetest milestones a family can celebrate—our son Brandon got married! I know the wedding took place just as summer was beginning, but as we say goodbye to the season, I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos and some of the moments that will forever stay in my heart.
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Mary Grace into the Fangio family.
From the very beginning, she has brought such joy, kindness, and warmth into Brandon’s life, and into all of ours as well. We’ve loved every moment spent getting to know her, and we truly cannot wait to see what the future holds for these two darling people who are so close to my heart.
Mary Grace and her mother did the most beautiful job of creating a wedding filled with thoughtful touches and stunning details. From the flowers to the food to every little element, their care and creativity made the day feel magical.
The ceremony took place in a glass chapel, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. With Mary Grace’s chosen color of green woven throughout the décor, it felt as if nature itself was blessing the day—it was breathtakingly beautiful.
What moved us most of all were Brandon and Mary Grace’s vows. You could have heard a pin drop in the chapel as they spoke—every guest held their breath, all eyes locked on them, as they expressed their love and devotion in such a tender, heartfelt way. It was a moment of pure magic, and one none of us will ever forget.
It was a day overflowing with love, family, and joy, and one we’ll treasure forever.
And of course, no wedding celebration would be complete without dancing!
From the first dance to the last song of the night, the dance floor was filled with joy.
One of the most meaningful moments for us was when we welcomed Mary Grace into our family circle for our special song—it was such a beautiful reminder that our circle has grown, and our hearts have too.
Brandon and Mary Grace twirled with such happiness that it set the tone for the evening—soon everyone was up, laughing, and dancing right along with them.
It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. Congratulations, Son, and all my very best to Mary Grace!
See you soon! XOXO Lorie
