***"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." -Henry Drummond
Once upon a time, I lived in a house with 7 guys. Ha, yes really! It's hardly a Cinderella story but spending my first year in Southern California living in, what felt like a sitcom, is a big part of my story. But that's not what this post is about. It's about one of the guys that lived there - the one that lived in the garage. To me, he is Bobbo; a redheaded musician with a big heart that I would sometimes see in the mornings while getting coffee. To the stunning bride you see in the photos below, he is the love of her life. I was lucky enough to assist at their wedding on Saturday. From the moment they first laid eyes on each other, to the sweet sounds of Ben Harper's Forever playing as Suz glowed down the aisle, to all the guests belting out "Don't stop believing!" with them in the middle of the dance floor, the day was nothing short of perfect. Watching Suz's face as Bob pulled out his guitar surprising her in singing a song at the reception reminded me that their truly are real life, Cinderella stories. I'm so grateful that April Smith (www.aprilsmithphotography.com) had me assist her in this beautiful day at San Dimas golf course. April is a gifted photographer and a mentor to me that I am so grateful for. You can log onto her site to see even more of this special event. It was an inspiring day spent with beautiful friends. It reminded me that all we truly need in this life is love, after all. Congratulations to my old roomie and his gorgeous new wife, Suzanne! Thank you both for letting me spend this day with you. May your life be filled with nothing but happiness.
