Midwest Backyard Intimate Wedding // Lisle, IL // Nate & Samantha

“What does marriage mean to you & what do you value most in your marriage?”

Sam: “Marriage to me means that two souls were designed for each other, not only successfully found each other, but are now forever bonded as one. I value our playfulness so much! We are always laughing and truly just enjoying each others company. Even if we’re just sitting on the couch watching a show we’ve seen many times before or if it’s been a tougher day. We are always sure to end the day laughing. There is just so much joy in our little home, it’s easily the best feeling I’ve ever known!”

Nate: “Being two individuals and being independent on our own, marriage means to me that us as individuals become one and we do everything as a team and do life together. I value our time the most, being able to just hang around each other for long periods of time and enjoy every second of it. If it’s either going out and doing something or sitting not eh couch and talking, the fact we can just do that and have a great time, very blessed to have that kind of relationship and marriage!”
