I used to think there was a secret to life-long marriages. Every time I saw a gray haired couple walking together, holding hands I couldn’t help but wonder what their trick was. Lucky for me ( and them ) I figured it out before actually tapping one of them on the shoulder to ask.. ;)

The truth is, there is no secret. No trick. And I have Jenny & Brett to thank for the answer to this question. How does a newlywed couple have the answer to a lifelong marriage, you ask? Watch the slideshow below & tell me if they look like most couples you know that have been together for 13 ( yes, THIRTEEN ) years. They put each other first, they live in the moment & they aren’t afraid to just love. These two are like peanut butter & jelly…really great on their own, but nothing short of magic when you put them together. There’s no doubt in my mind that they’ll eventually join the ranks of those happy gray-haired couples…

Until then, I hope to be able to document this family as they grow from 2 to 3 ( which has already happened thanks to a cute black lab named Echo ) and 3 to… 4 :) After watching them with Jenny’s niece & nephew, Zoe & Rowan..its pretty obvious they’ll make amazing parents. There wasn’t a single moment of their wedding day that I didn’t love, but if I had to choose a favorite..it would be their first-look ( see below ).
