As we share this blog post on Thanksgiving, Nicola and Evan’s wedding is a great reminder of so many things to be thankful for: bringing your closest family and friends together under one roof, loved ones who are able to travel from near and far to support you, dancing with your best friend and finding a partner to spend the rest of your life with.

During the ceremony, GuruPrem made a simple analogy that rang very true to our ears and in many ways, addressed so much about what we love about weddings. In his analogy, he compared a newlywed couple to an acorn. Inside of an acorn are all of the ingredients for life, the blueprints for a large tree. When we think about all of the aspects of a wedding to be thankful for, this simple analogy could not be more accurate.
