Jess and Ray planned their April wedding with hopes of beautiful tulips and budding trees….but instead, they got snow!  HAHA!  That’s Pittsburgh for ya!  It really didn’t matter what the weather was on their wedding day.   Jess and Ray had a gorgeous day full of fun, family, friends, and dogs.  It.  Was.  Awesome.
