Wedding

I received a voicemail yesterday from her. Cindi just wanted to let me know that they arrived back home from their honeymoon, and that we should get together soon. Her simple and sweet message made me smile. Why, you ask? Well, I could tell by the tone of her voice, that carefree, happy tone, that she too had a big smile on her face while leaving the message. Aww, the pure bliss of being a newlywed, a honeymooner on cloud 9, a lucky girl in love…Cindi and John, I hope you had a fabulous honeymoon, and I can’t wait to show you the rest of your photos! Until then, here are some more from your big day!

Cindi and John had such a lovely cake!

Despite the rainy day, the room had a wonderful glow.

Kristin, a dear friend of Cindi, made this room beautiful – she did all of the decor herself!

Rose petals, sea shells, and candlelight…simply beautiful!

The groomsmen try out their personalized gifts.

Rain, reflections, and lace…love it!

Did I mention before that I absolutely loved Cindi’s wedding dress?

And her veil! The lace and beading, plus Cindi’s gorgeous smile…oh so beautiful!

Love birds!

Cheers!

Cindi and John, thanks again for letting me share in one of the biggest
days of your lives, I am truly honored! See you soon!

Reception: Cindi + John

July 4, 2009

Indianapolis, IN

There was something even more special about this most recent Independence Day. Cindi and John were married! They declared their love for each other in front of their family and friends. Although it rained all day at the Riverwalk Lodge, they were beaming with joy and excitement. One wedding guest said to the bride that she knew the raindrops were the tears of happiness cried by Cindi’s Mom in heaven. Hearing that gave me chills, and it put a quiet knowing smile on Cindi’s face, and she nodded in agreement. Despite the rain, the grand party carried on and everyone enjoyed their time together. Cindi and John, thank you so much for allowing me to share your day. I wish you all the love, laughter, happiness, and frothy beverages from your favorite coffee shop from now until forever. Enjoy your Sneak Peek!
