And here we are again…another Monday. These weeks just go by so quickly! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, I know we sure did. We had two weddings and met some new folks at a client consult (love meeting new couples!), so it was a busy weekend for us but definitely good times. I really do love this time of year, the start of wedding season, longer days, and in my opinion, perfect weather. I have decided on a new wedding season resolution (way better than New Year’s resolutions, no crowded gyms) and that’s to share more with you about who Rico and I are. I know you do get a pretty good idea of us through these posts, but I’m going to make more of an effort from now on. I mean, why WOULDN’T you want to hear more about our cat or Rico’s dance moves? SOOOOO, with that, something you might not know about us (or perhaps you do) is that Rico and I are vegetarians, and I’m a wannabe vegan which basically means I eat loads of nacho “cheez” made from cashew nuts and soymilk until I relapse into my REAL cheesy ways. Sigh, God bless real cheese. So there you have it, Rico and I eat veggies and probably WAY more carbs than is good for us, and I can almost feel your excitement through the computer screen. LETS NOT GET HASTY PEOPLE, one small fact at a time (if there’s anything specific you would like to know, I am always open to suggestions). So with that, on to the pictures….
I love Jenny and David. That’s just the truth. Not only are they adorable, they are creative and flexible and willing to do any posing move we threw at them. They were married at Paradise Point Resort in San Diego, which, I will admit, I had never been to in all my years of living in San Diego. No, I was never like all you rebels who broke into the resort to go hot tubbing back in high school but after visiting I might have to give that a thought. This wedding was seriously beautiful and everyone was NICE, and I mean nice. Jenny is from Texas so we had a bunch of really nice Texans running around, and her adorable grandpa who married them in his cowboy hat. Oh, and ALSO, as a gift to their guests they arranged for fireworks during the ceremony..how great are they?? Jenny and David, you’re so sweet and so great to work with and we are counting the days until we can get together again soon! Congrats on your marriage, you have found such a gift in one another and are truly blessed! xoxo
