It was a warm and sunny day, which doesn\u2019t sound unusual considering Arizona is known for the 100-plus-degree heat, but the week leading up to AJ and Erin\u2019s wedding day was pretty chilly for us Phoenicians! We\u2019re glad for the warmth: Erin looked stunning in her classic, chic white wedding dress, but with dresses comes airflow, so we\u2019re glad the sun warmed things up to make sure the bride was comfortable during her own wedding.<\/p>\n
What a wedding it was, too. The desert landscape provided a perfect backdrop for AJ and Erin\u2019s first look, and the grin on AJ\u2019s face when he told Erin she did a great job picking out her dress was nothing short of adorable. Both Erin and AJ wrote their own vows, a gesture both sweet and romantic. AJ vowed that he would always be there for Erin, through thick and through thin, through health and through sickness, through all of Lucy\u2019s mishaps (and her good moments, too: AJ promised to support Lucy alongside Erin!). Amidst Lucy\u2019s tiny cries for her mom and dad, Erin smiled and told AJ that she was so, so lucky to be marrying him\u2026 and that he was lucky to be marrying her <\/i>in such a fun way.<\/p>\n
As much as we talk about weddings being about the couples<\/a>, they\u2019re a little bit about their loved ones, too. We like to think you can understand someone better by observing who they keep around, and we got one big thing from this group: fun. Not only was the wedding outside in a gorgeous<\/a> garden, but after the ceremony, people were up and dancing before dinner was even served. AJ\u2019s groomsmen even performed a full-on lip sync to the Backstreet Boys\u2019 classic \u201cI Want It That Way<\/a>,\u201d and between the food and the vows and the dancing, you could really tell that the people AJ and Erin hold dear truly love them and are willing to go the extra mile for them.<\/p>\n Especially because we\u2019re pretty sure we saw the groomsmen tear up at Erin\u2019s gift to AJ. Before the ceremony they spent their time cracking jokes and teasing each other, but when AJ opened the adorable card, bottle of great booze, and a classy watch, the groomsmen definitely got misty-eyed.<\/p>\n Erin\u2019s group did, too, when they found out AJ gifted Erin Celine Dion tickets.<\/p>\n You can really tell this group loves each other.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s the big thing: love<\/a>, in all its forms.<\/p>\n Thank you, Erin and AJ, for letting us be a part of your lives. We can\u2019t wait to see what the world has in store for you.<\/p>\n![\"2019-11-13_0001\"](\"https:\/\/joandalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/2019-11-13_0001.jpg\")
