Marriage Is Like A Bottle Of Wine.....

Why you ask? 

Well, because it gets better with age. It is meant to be shared. And it's a journey, a  process from the vine to the bottle.

At least according to the pastor at my friend's wedding last week!! I had the pleasure to witness one of my longtime friend say her vows and tie the knot in the great state of Oregon. The ceremony was short and sweet, straight to the point. Just like her. It was pretty perfect. She got married in a winery, outside of Eugene, OR. It was an absolutely gorgeous backdrop for a wedding. Take a peek!

Love Is In The Air: The Union Of Andy & Alli

Last Saturday I saw my cousin Andy married off to his bride, Alli. There truly was love in the air. You could see it on their faces. You could feel it in their warm embrace. It was really sweet to see such affection. Photos from the happy day:

 "I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes." They danced to the infamous Eric Clapton tune. It really was wonderful. Congrats to the new couple! As the best man exclaimed, "Good luck and all that stuff!"
