That's how strong my love is...

If I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
You can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm

That's how strong my love is, darling,
That's how strong my love is, baby,
That's how strong my love is, oooh,
That's how strong my love is.

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
I'll get out the tears whenever you cry,
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and love you warm

That's how strong my love is, so deep in,
Well, that's how strong my love is
So much love, yes so much love, oohh,
Yes so much love, yes so much love,
Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,
Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you....

Make it your own... part 2

Chris & Cristi had their intimate wedding in Kauai. The details were simple yet striking. Bright, tropical flowers and an aisle made from orchids. Not to mention an open air restaurant overlooking the ocean where dinner was served to close friends and family. And the bride and groom... absolutely stunning.

Will & Alana Now this was a wedding to remember. A three day affair at Shawnigan Lake filled with tennis and swimming, buffet lunches and evening dancing. Surprise musicians at the end of the ceremony and a reception hall transformed into a crystal wonderland were just a few of the details that made this such a unique day.

Nick & Arli The sun shone brightly on this beautiful Fall day, making the ceremony at Van Deusen Gardens that much more spectacular. The reception was filled with so many personal touches, including tiers of cupcakes that were to die for. The speeches were both humorous and sentimental, the food so very tasty, and the dancing went into the morning hours.

Shaun & Kim Set in the picturesque Mayan Riviera, the wedding ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, taking place on a sandy beach on the Caribbean Ocean. Purple bridesmaid dresses and pastel roses, sandals and sunglasses, and a reception under palm trees and a starry night. Incredible.

Warning! This is a long photo post due to my inability to narrow down the selection of gorgeous photos. It may be because I love this couple so very much, or it might be because they are just so beautiful themselves. It may be the tropical backdrop, or the great group of friends and family that helped make it so special... whatever the case, it was a magical day.

Chris and Cristi... my wish for you both is comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, patience to accept the truth, courage to know yourselves and love to complete your life. I hope rainbows are filling the sky in Kauai for your honeymoon! Much love... xoxo.

 

Chris & Cristi | the Day Before

I’ve known Cristi since first year at SFU. She sat across from me in a biology tutorial, and I couldn’t help but stare at her. Her beauty was soft, yet exotic… she was stunning. I soon found out that she was not only beautiful, but one of the most intelligent, caring, loyal and giving people I’ve yet to meet. We went through the Science program together, helping each other with calculus exams and chemistry labs, heartache and heart break, laughter and tears, exhaustion and fears. She was with me then and she is with me now. Always.

Tomorrow she is to be married to a great man. No longer the girl sitting across from me in university, she is now a radiant women ready to marry.

Thank you, my lovely, for the years of such a truly special friendship! I love you both… xoxo
