PSALM OINES PHOTOGRAPHY/A WEDDING CLOSE TO MY HEART
A little over a year ago, one of my best friends fell in love. At a time when neither expected, they were both swept off their feet and brought a little closer to the clouds. And as
love does, it worked its way deeper into that part of the soul that ties and knits itself to another in such a mysteriously beautiful way. This past weekend, on the warm shores of the
Big Island, they gathered with family and friends to share their vows, and my friend and her fiance declared their commitment to each other, and their commitment to a life full of love. The
bride surprised her guests with a grand entrance (I’ll let the pictures reveal the fun). One of my favorite moments of the weekend however, was when the groom was asked what he
would like to have to eat, and his quick reply was that he was going to
“live on love”.
So, here’s to unexpected love lasting a lifetime. To family. To colorful couples. To my beautiful mother and her husband John. I am so happy for the joy you have found.
