Fall Wedding at The Links at Firestone Farms

Sara & Aaron’s wedding day was planned to a T. The Links at Firestone Farms was beautifully decorated for the Fall, full of thoughtful little details, and even featured their adorable pup Camo. But the very best thing about Sara & Aaron’s day wasn’t the timeline or the carefully crafted details, but the love you could see between the newlyweds. They have the kind of love that is visible to everyone around them. Guys everywhere want their wives to look at them the way Sara does when she looks at Aaron. And we just love the story of the night they met- Aaron’s friend dragged him to a party on campus at Bethany College where Sara attended. After Sara met Aaron he told his friend, “Don’t expect me to remember anyone else’s name but Sara’s. I won’t forget her.” And now they get to be together forever. Love, love, love!
