megan and Chris

megan and chris…… so much to say here. I met megan 3 ish months ago at a coffee shop in st thomas about her upcoming wedding.  She needed a photographer and I needed a cooking teacher. I had been looking for someone to teach my daughter some cooking skills and come to find out megan has some mad  skills!… I never knew what roasting garlic was until recently. Thanks megan. So I met megan  and labamba ( the sweet daddy mac of island cars look below) at the bottom of my hill and brought her to our home. This was a start to a wonderful friendship ! Not only has she been a blessing to my daughter but a a A+ friend to me!  We actually meet every week to do a bible study with my also new friends Kimberley and Nicole ( thanks to nicole for the yellow chairs I just had to borrow ) and to Kimbo for the sewing machine that was well used for this wedding. Megan is so special. She is pretty and smart and is multi talented it is only natural that she would fall in love with a guy like Chris who has these same character traits. Chris has the coolest job. He grows and replants Coral. oh….yes and he is a drummer…. awesome!!! …and really if you doubt his coolness and think I make this stuff up…look at his wedding shoes??? …the wedding was perfect. The parents all gave a blessing of words to them. Which I would recommend , it was so precious. The wedding decor was a DIY project  which really was only started 2 weeks before the wedding. This is to show that you can really pull of a special and unique wedding with a few dollars… I am so happy for this couple. I think my fav picture is when megan gets almost to the end of the isle. I love the way Chris looks at her! Happy for you guys!!! Thanks Pastor Jeff for waiting on us a bit for the wedding to start.  I know as soon as it started you knew that this was a wedding worth waiting for. :) thanks to sugar and spice artistry for their great hair and make up services ( as always)

….AW , did I tell you today that you are my world?! That spending a day with you is like finding a piece of gold on a sidewalk. The last few mornings I have looked over at you in the early am and just awe at your how perfect you are ( yes I have been awake before you these last 2…sleepy head) . Wondering why you are with me???ME??? And at the same time thanking God you are with me. Everything I have ever dreamed to do or still dream of doing you are always included . You are my Joy ! I am rich with your love. ………me

Thida was my cheerleader at a 8:30 am wedding last month. When she arrived she made me feel so special. It is so amazing how we as people can speak life into a person by our kind words and add flavor to their day. Thank you Thida for this!  I am sure you will continue to bless others and have a happy marriage! ..the wedding shoes are  to die for!!!

They look pretty good don’t you say!! ?We did these photos in about 10 minutes. The sweetest moment was megan started to tear up.
