The word âintentionalâ feels extremely overused. And in many cases, depending on what circle of people, work, or lifestyle you find yourself in, it IS so overused that itâs lost any sort of weight or meaning.
When I showed up to CJ and Whitneyâs Rehearsal Dinner as a guest, that word âintentionalâ was used so much in the speeches to describe both CJ and Whitney. And in any other given space, I wouldâve lost my shit.
But I didnât. Because in this case scenario, there really was no better word to describe these two.
Two years ago, they took me to their favorite spot in Atlanta when we first met. They didnât ask how long Iâd been doing photography for - they asked about my dreams and what I loved outside of photography. They got to know me, not as a photographer, but as a person, a husband, a Filipino, and a person of faith.
On their wedding day, their party favors / seating chart was a coffee table book of photos I had taken of them. In this book, they highlighted ALL of their vendors. They had short blurbs written about almost every single person. As small as it sounds, we as the vendors got to eat at our own table rather than eating dinner in the back room of the venue. On top of all of that, there wasnât a period of the day that they wouldnât periodically stop to check in on how we were doing.
Their whole being was geared to serving others well and making them feel so loved with the deepest level of intent.
CJ. Whitney. Thanks for loving us so damn well that it just makes the word âintentionalâ feel completely inadequate. Honored to have celebrated you both alongside your beautiful tribe đŤśđ˝
