Mariam & Karland’s Wedding

October.18.2010 | Weddings

I have been looking forward to Mariam & Karland’s wedding since January of this year.  When I first met Mariam, I couldn’t get over how sweet she was and how excited she was to be getting married to Karland.  Mariam has just given birth to their daughter and was on cloud 9…she even got a little emotional during our meeting just thinking about marrying her soul mate.  I was so touched by that and knew that their day was going to be special!  Seeing the smiles on both of their faces on their wedding day was a beautiful site to see.  They both have a deep connection to their families and each other and you could just feel the love during the entire day.

Mariam & Karland…you guys are just as cute as can be and I’m so happy for you!  Thanks so much for letting me into your lives…wishing you many years of love and hopefully a few more little ones as cute as Maleah!

I loved Mariam’s beautiful headpiece and dress..they complimented each other so well!

Mariam was glowing that day…

I loved the bridesmaids purple dressess and the pop of green their bouquet’s added!

They make a gorgeous couple, don’t they?

The Scripps College made for a beautiful background…

I loved Mariam’s purple bouquet and purple shoes!

So sweet…Mariam & Karland’s daughter Maleah was being such a good girl during the whole ceremony!

I always love how happy my couple look walking down the aisle as husband and wife for the first time…it’s one of my favorite moments!

I love how happy Mariam looks here…

The father/daughter dance & mother/son dance are always tear jerking moments for me!

Mariam is a hot tamale!

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to thank you all for the lovely tweets, emails, & Facebook messages about my new brand & blog!  It means so much to me to hear all the positive feedback..you guys are awesome!  Be prepared for more blog posts now that I have a brand new blog :-)

I don’t know about everywhere else but it’s a pretty gloomy Friday in Ladera Ranch, CA.  If it’s gloomy where you are, I thought I’d brighten up your day with a video of the “cutest brown Shih Tzu in the entire universe” aka Spunki :-)  I must warn you… my voice is super annoying in the video…so just try to ignore it and just pay attention to the cute parts like Spunki & her barking for a treat!

Have a great weekend everyone!  Check back next week for some yummy wedding posts!

p.s. I’ve gotten quite a few emails asking me if I will ever do another blog post on any home updates that I’ve done recently.  The answer is yes!  I will do one hopefully in the next few weeks once my schedule is a little less hectic!
