I was so excited to see a text message from a dear friend. I was even more excited to see the content!! Josh Stefanski was working with his phenomenal family to create something very special.

˜

I asked him how he was feeling. There was 30 minutes until it was time. He said he was “terrified.” and I let him know that was an appropriate emotional response.

Josh was about to offer to commit his life to a very special person and he wanted everything to go just right. He had sent for a limousine to pick her up. She was just barely back from a family trip to Italy and now her life would change forever. He had invited dozens of friends and family to wait inside the house. All the lights were turned off and all the blinds were closed.

His brother Josiah had just finished mowing of the grass. His brother Sam was finishing the beautiful setting in the backyard with linens, roses, candles, and vases. His dad was giving instructions to the guests on how to properly hide for the surprise. His mom was setting out food in fancy displays. When the Stefanski‘s do something significant, it is always a family affair. They are in it together and I love it!

From the moment they laid eyes on each other, they couldn’t stop smiling. Whitney and Josh had definitely reached a special climax. You could tell by the joy that would not stop radiating off of both of their faces as she raced to meet him.  Josh poured out his heart and she reciprocated with a resolute yes!! So much beauty in that short moment!!

Congratulations Josh and Whitney! Josh, you always give every part of yourself to everything you set your mind to. I know your marriage will be no less. Whitney, Josh is lucky to have you and I know he will be an incredible blessing to you. I know the best is yet to come! Many blessings to your beautiful future!!
