For Christian and Teresa's family and friends, they've gotten to witness a love that shines in the small moments. The way they check to see if the other needs something before they leave the room, or a quick affectionate touch, or a statement of admiration for an otherwise everyday chore. Christian remembered the early days when he had a difficult time mastering the art of the diaper change. And when Teresa was away traveling, she’d leave little love letters of encouragement for him all over the house, and he’d find them throughout the weekend. Teresa remembered the first time she spent Christmas in Philadelphia, and Christian put together a “Girlfriend basket” of all these little things with her favorite brands. She said he didn’t even make a big deal out of it, but it stuck with her.

Christian and Teresa have have grown in their love even during the past whirlwind of a year, with all the challenges of being working parents in the middle of a global crisis, dealing with upheaval at work, starting a new job, figuring out what’s for dinner, remembering to bring a mask to daycare, renovating the house, and then spending more time in said house than certainly anyone predicted.

So on their wedding day, friends and family gathered to celebrate Christian and Teresa and their commitment to the small joys, small acts of kindness, and everyday moments that reflect a BIG love -- and a bond that is sure to last a lifetime.
