He was smitten with her from the beginning. According to many, it secretly known that Eric had a crush on Hannah. While they shared several classes together in their college years, it took a bit for him to finally ask her out. Their first date… an army military ball. Eric’s sweet side quickly charmed this girl he adored. The kind study buddy was over taken with love as she began to feel butterflies. While Eric’s feelings may have grown first, it was clear Hannah’s thoughts were on the same page. As her father stood and welcomed their guests, he pulled out a sealed envelope with a handwritten prediction inside. Dated just about three years ago… “Hannah Dolan will marry Eric Schilling” signed by his daughter. As if it was a love note in a personal journal, Hannah knew her heart’s desire. Eric stood hand in hand with his beautiful wife and genuinely thanked his family. His most memorable words came when he promised her family that he would always cherish her and take care of her heart. They were the words that all fathers of little girls hope to one day hear from the man they hand their daughter away to. Hannah and Eric, may your road ahead be filled with many more love notes to remind you of how far you’ve come. Eric’s adoration for his beautiful wife does not go unnoticed.
Remember the ball he took her to on their first date? Hannah kept the shoes she wore that day and wore them on her wedding day. Candids as the family photos unfolded.
Such a classic photo of a bride slipping into her veil before she walks down the aisle. An adoring mother walks her only son down the aisle….And a proud father kisses his youngest daughter before giving her away. The bridesmaids leaked that Eric could not stop whispering “I love you” during the ceremony. What a happy groom 🙂 This bridal party brought the fun!
Love songs for a kiss. These guys were committed to their song choice! Mr. and Mrs. Schilling. As dad danced a choreographed routine with his daughter, his head was high. As the song came to a close, he spun her out and into the hands of her husband. And then I wiped my tears. 🙂
I LOVE when parents get on the dance floor and enjoy themselves.
