{garret & kelly}

he turned around to see his bride for the first time... as he walked towards her,  he put his arms around her  and whispered, "thanks for showing up."  simple ... sweet... and speaks volumes about marriage... something they knew on the first day.  

 that marriage is about the choice to show up... always. every single day.  til death parts you.

i just love these two.  here are some favorites.

if you ask her dad he'll tell you... kelly is his favorite.

 

 many blessings you two.

love.

the day was as tiffany called it on facebook, "chilli." (serious.  and then when we corrected her, she simply laughed and in her sweet southern voice said, "i am a terrible speller).  however everyone attending was kept warm but watching these two high school sweethearts promise "til death do us part."  a few posts earlier i shared the story of how it all began.   so for their wedding i'll share some words from their first dance that sum it up well..

"are you gonna kiss me or not... are we gonna do this or what.. .

i think you know i love you a lot...

i think we've got a real good shot...

.... so we planned it all out ... from the wedding cake to the honeymoon...

and when the preacherman said say, "i do."  i did, and you did, too...

look at all the love that we've got... it ain't never gonna stop... "



tiffany & bj,   thank you so much for bringing us south!   we LOVED it!

God's blessings

love.

once upon a time two people an ocean apart met online... and started writing. .. they fell in love..  a couple of airplane rides later... they got engaged... a wedding was planned and all was well.  then everything stopped.  a visa mix up forced them to be an ocean apart once again... but a love like their's prevailed.  they pressed on...and finally a year after their original date, they made it all official.    i love how the pastor put it when he said, "there is nothing more seperating you, " and if you spend 3 minutes with them you know nothing ever will.

these flowers are thanks to forever friends.  check them out!

amazing party.   thanks to the orchid and quatro systems

moh.  this girl should be a professional toast giver.  best toast - ever.

love.

{amanda & mike}

there is a line in most wedding vows that states, "in sickness & in health."   these two know better than anyone about the whole sickness part.  the word no one ever wants a doctor to say to them was said to amanda, "cancer."  in a moment her life was changed.  yet one thing remained the same, mike.  always by her side - no matter what... then during a carriage ride in downtown indy amanda's life changed again... this time for all the right reasons.  mike asked a question and she said, "yes." 

now cancer free... all that is left to do is live heathy ever after...

i am so excited to capture these two during this time in their lives... here we were last fall...

i am a terrible blogger...

no excuse.   tons of reasons.   get ready for catch up.   i will not even post-date them.   we like to keep it real here.   alright, enough with the "i am going to catch up post"  on to actually catching up...

yours.

i once heard of a story about a little boy named jonny... jonny suffered from a disease which limited how much he understood in school... and then one day the teacher gave an assignment... "here is an easter egg. tonight take it home and fill it with something that reminds you of easter..." the next day all the children where excited to show what they had filled their eggs with... some had chocolates... jelly beans... chicks... bunnies... you name it...once each showed what was in their egg they shared with the class why they had chosen that item... then the teacher open jonny's ... empty. assuming he did not understand she quickly moved on to the next student so he was not embarassed... "but teacher... you did not let me share..." "its okay you didn't understand jonny..." "but teacher..." "jonny, its alright, please sit down." "BUT TEACHER - THE TOMB WAS EMPTY."

enjoy the egg hunts today. be blessed by having family around. stuff yourself silly with good food. but remember... today is the best day because Jesus conquered death... today is the day we celebrate that fact that we are reconciled to God.  we are His.  we will spend eternity with Him if we claim Christ's VICTORY as our own.  it's yours for the taking. 

 question is... will you?

kiss me.

here's some inspiration.  now get out there and kiss the ones you love.

happy saint patrick's day to all.
