Emily + Mo Pitney's Wedding Day
“I love little baby ducks, old pickup trucks
Slow-movin’ trains and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams
Sunday school in May and hay
And I love you, too
I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends
Birds of the world and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups
Bourbon in a glass, and grass.
And I love you, too
I love honest, open smiles, kisses from a child
Tomatoes on the vine and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try
Music when it’s good and life
And I love you, too.”
"Sweet, simple and true." - These words perfectly describe Emily + Mo's wedding day.
They said their vows in a sweet country church in early Springtime. It was the greatest honor to witness and capture the essence of their day. Every moment, every detail was meaningful and authentic.
You've probably heard both Emily + Mo on the radio. Emily is part of a family bluegrass band called The Bankesters, and Mo Pitney is a country music artist. They are absolutely beautiful together.
“We love the outdoors, reading to each other...we do everything we can to remain simple and childlike.”
Emily + Mo wanted every detail to display and proclaim what marriage truly is in the eyes of God. They wanted the wedding day to be a joyful joining of two families.
“We want every word and action to portray a tangible gospel invitation to live in the light for all of us who are there.”
“We met in the summer of 2007 at a bluegrass festival in central Illinois. We were always good friends but nothing more than that until last year when God changed both our lives around the same time. We suddenly had everything in common and the start of our lives as a couple stemmed from that.”
“We want our lives to glorify Jesus. We look for musical, artistic, and creative ways to do that together. ”
Emily + Mo shared a moment together and a prayer right before the ceremony...
