Cole and Brooke have a whirlwind of a love story! They’ve lived their entire relationship while in school at the Naval Academy during a global pandemic…so to say that their day at Shadow Creek felt like it was a long time coming, was an understatement! They’re so clearly made for each other! After graduating the Naval Academy on Saturday…just two days later they were up in front of their friends and family, making the biggest commitment they could, by the grace of God. Cole and Brooke had mornings full of love, being showered with encouragement by their bridal parties, and they both anxiously awaited the moment that they’d see each other. They stood around the corner from each other for a “first touch” so they could chat and pray together and you could tell that they immediately softened. The anxiety disappearing as soon as they were with the person who knows them best.
And still Cole took a deep breath as Brooke walked down the aisle, immediately settled by her presence. Beaming wide and unable to take his eyes off of his bride. Brooke’s sweet smile lights up most rooms she’s in and her wedding day was like that x1000! Their excitement for marriage, their commitment to serve God together, their vows to forgive and grow and change together, it was a beautiful thing to behold. You couldn’t find two more joyful people as they walked back up the aisle hand in hand, finally pronounced husband and wife. Their friends broke it down on the dance floor and soon enough, they were off into a sparkler filled sunset! It all went by so quickly! Here’s to the Billiots!
Cole and Brooke, we’re so impressed by your faithfulness and your joy! We love you guys and know you’re going to have the best adventure in marriage!
