Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the beach wedding Arielle & Candace dreamed of was turned upside down; the morning before they planned to say “I do” on the sandy shore, they instead signed their license at a minister’s desk in boardshorts and tears. But we couldn’t let that be the end of this couple’s Big […]
