I first met Carrie and her mother Judy sometime in October of 2007. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with them. Judy, is one of those remarkable women who personifies to me the perfect wife, mother, woman. She is gracious, she is educated, and she loves her family.

Carrie, is from the same core but she is her own woman, with a beautiful warm glowing smile, and enthusiasm that actually matched mine. ( I love enthusiasm)

If memory serves me correctly, they hired me after just a few moments of being together and we were on our way,beginning the journey from engagement to that big day where they exchange their vows to love and each other all the days of their lives, in front of their family and friends.  

I think I first met Colin, the groom to be, and the impeccable Henry father of the bride, at our tasting together. At this tasting, I was able to understand the complete, unquestioned, unconditional love that lived in this very beautiful family. Before we all ate, Colin lead in grace and blessed us all with the love or a power greater then ourselves. That grace, that blessing, and that family dynamic became the foundation for everything else that happened from that point forward. Understanding where both Carrie and Colin came from with regard to their beliefs, and seeing with my own eyes the true love they had for each other, and how that true love became manifest, and how they shared it with their family and now with me, well this was just overwhelming. (In a good way)

I have never seen anybody look at each other with such a totally glow as Carrie and Colin, and also with Henry and Judy. ( Henry gave the most moving toast I ever heard before, and it gave reference to that love he saw in his kids eyes, and how it was the same for him and Judy...."even after all these years"

So, August 2, 2008, at 4:00 pm........family and friends gathered at the home of Henry and Judy, to watch a little miracle, and to share a lot of love.
