Southern Weddings

From Sara, one of our summer interns:

Hi again, y’all! Oh my stars, I am so excited to share this video from Kimberly K Cinema Verite with you! Rooted in faith and centered around prayer, Rhonda + David’s relationship overcame a rocky first date and years of long-distance, resulting in a love that is the epitome of strength. This film highlights their deep connection by combining clips of the marvelous couple (isn’t Rhonda simply radiant in her glamorous sparkly gown?) with snippets of heartfelt advice from their family and friends. I truly think the bride puts it best by saying a certain part of their big day made her “heart melt and mascara run” (me too, Rhonda!). I just know y’all will adore this glimpse into R + D’s heartwarming love story as much as I do. P.S. Make sure to watch the entire film – the couple’s sweet candid moment at the end is my very favorite!

From the bride:

Our love was the unlikely result of a bad first date. After an introduction from our mutual friend Emily Harmony (e.harmony for short), we became fast friends. However, David’s military interrogation training and my analytical mind almost ended our bliss on day one. Thanks to the grace of God, the advice of friends and my homemade apple dumplings, we went on a second date. After a few months, David and I realized we had a unique love for one another, so we spent considerable time praying about when and how to proceed. David knew within the first two months that he would someday marry me, but I had another agenda, which included moving around the world to Abu Dhabi!

Despite my two-year international plans, we proceeded with planning our Southern chic wedding. To our surprise, David received orders to deploy days after I returned to the United States, so we were bound to be long-distance across continents again.

After nearly two years of bi-coastal love, you can imagine our joy at the thought of being in the same country at the same time to celebrate our wedding with family and friends! We knew that Kimberly K Cinema Verite would capture the special moments from our day in a modern, fresh, and eternally beautiful way. The foot washing, which concluded our ceremony, was my favorite moment from our wedding weekend. The visual and real expression of David’s love and servant leadership made my heart melt and my mascara run. It was unforgettable!
