Pink, it was love at first sight…

Justin was playing football at Louisiana-Lafayette University when Hurricane Katrina forced him to evacuate to the Florida panhandle, where he met the lovely Samantha… Proof that God’s hand is in every situation. Justin + Samantha and Michael + I became quick friends, these two have amazing hearts and we could not wish them more love + happiness in their marriage.

We were blessed with a beautiful rainbow shining over the wedding- it was a first and I took full advantage.

Chinedu + Ebony | Destin, Florida

If rain on your wedding day is symbolic of a long and wonderful married life, Chinedu + Ebony will not be in short supply of happiness.

In a stretch of about 60 something weddings, we have not had a wedding completely rained out, but the weather forecast for Saturday called for 100% chance of rain.

And boy, did it rain. It was like a tropical storm was coming through the area, with high winds and drenching rains- I could see how crestfallen Ebony looked when the decision was made to move the ceremony under the tent instead of out on the beach.

But you know what? Chinedu + Ebony still had an absolutely fabulous and amazing wedding, because they were surrounded by the love of so many who had come to witness the union of their lives. At the end of the day, a marriage is about how well you weather the storm. :)
