Becca & Brian get married

Vacation has ended, but we are still having fun because we got to spend the day with Becca and Brian! We have known Becca since she was in 7th grade (we were her junior high youth group leaders) and we have enjoyed watching her grow into a beautiful young woman. She has now married the love of her life, Brian, who get 2 thumbs up from us (isn't it great that the photographers get to give their stamp of approval!?)

Our day started off at Extended Stay America for the finishing touches with the girls. We had initially planned on doing the photography there, but the weather report was calling for thunderstorms all day. If it wasn't storming, it would be raining, if it wasn't raining it would be "steamy and tropical". Well, it turned out that the only part of the weather report that was accurate was the steamy and tropical part but everyone was thrilled because Becca and Brian dreamt of their photography outdoors. Anyhow, we ended up making a quick trip with the girls to a park across the street, thinking it may be the only time to get outdoor shots.

Next we headed over to the church, Frazer Mennonite, to meet up with the guys and get ready for the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful, with a lot of thought put in to it by Becca and Brian. There were lovely tears between Becca and Brian and I caught Becca's sister Sarah holding back, which in turn, caused me to get all choked up - ahh, I love the variety of emotions experienced on wedding days.

The reception was held at People's Light and Theatre at the Farmhouse which was a beautiful setting to continue with the celebration. Lovely toasts were given, and we witnessed a really nice touch of lighting candles during the speeches. What a wonderful day it was. Thank you Becca and Brian for inviting us to share in this day with you. We wish you a wonderful honeymoon and we are so glad you'll remain a part of our lives!






Stay tuned for Becca's sister's wedding in 5 weeks!
