To The Nines

*deep breath*

My good friend, Ivan, whom I’ve known for almost 20 years tied the knot to the love of his life this Labor Day.

Their wedding was decked out to the nines with details at every turn, DIY crafty delight and raw emotion.

Both Irene and Ivan looked marvelous, as expected, but the most attractive “accessory” they wore were the giant smiles on their faces!

Sweet

Joyful

In all my years of knowing Ivan, I have never seen him smile like that before. It makes me so happy to see and brings tears to my eyes!

Dreamy

Embellished

…with details.

My message was: laugh everyday.

Enjoy a mint julep…

…and “leaf” a fingerprint.

Chic

Glowing

Romantic
