{California Wedding : part 2 : “D-Day”}

24 May

Two posts in one day? Yes folks, it has come to this!  I feel like I am so behind, and the week has barely even started!! Thankfully, I know it will all get done, God is always sovereign.

We called it “D-Day” because my cousin’s name is Kari Dee (after my aunt : her mom) Thus, (kari) D-day. Hopefully that made sense, my mom came up with that little zinger on her own while we were up in CA (late nights bring out the best in everybody 😉

All week we had been freaking out!  There had been severe winds, a few hail storms, and many rainy days and nights!  But, the day turned out BRILLIANTLY!!  Not a cloud in the sky, not too hot, with the tiniest breeze.  There really was nothing better we could have asked for!!

Their story is quite adorable.  Both of their families are motorcycle racers, and on one very special night, for some motorcycle event, aboard the Queen Mary, their eyes locked across a crowded room.  She gave him her number, he called her every day after.  He lived in England, she lived in California, long distance relationships are never fun… but they made it! Now, without further ado (I’m sure you’re just aching to see these pix by now!!)

Enjoy the 2-post thing, probably won’t happen again for a while.

Savanna ❤

A long time ago

In a land far away

Lived a boy and a girl

and that girl used to say

Bum.ba.da.dum.bum . do.do.do.do.do

I love you – S.J

Her “Princess dress” (titled very appropriately)

Do people really look this amazing when they’re sticking on their mascara?

Iiiiiiiiiiiii don’t think so 😉

The beautiful {inside and out} bride and maid-of-honor (aka : Piper’s mom) Love them both so much ❤

Helloooooooooo hottie!

I wouldn’t call myself a total material girl. But… judging by the way I freaked out over these shoes…  (well… I pretty much fall in love with… any radical shoe 😉 I think that side of me definitely kicked into full-drive!!

And what post would be complete without a few of miss Piper?

:::Doll Baby:::

Baby Silhouettes = (should-be-illegal-they’re-so-stinkin’-ridiculously-cute!!)

Pure Preciousness

This dress weighed like… a million pounds!! Seriously! (ok, not really. But you could get a kick-butt workout wearing this all day!)

I’m not sure if I like how this one turned out… but trying new things is fun sometimes =) opinions?

A sweet mother-daughter moment ❤ Auntie, you looked so lovely and classy!

The dresses were a VIVID, metalic HOT pink! (my favorite!!)

andddd…. the ridiculous gorgeousness continues!

FEIRRRCE!

AHH! There they are again!! Warn a person, seriously!

This photo just melts my ❤

Mumsy-In-Law and Daughter-In-Law

I about gave my auntie a heart attack by not telling her I was taking the rings to snap a few pix… oops! heehee*

Miss Izzy (Isabella) : The Flower Girl (SUCH a princess!! Though the cute-ness probably has something to do with the fact that she has an english accent and is…3!) =D

She paints the sky with her smile

Sweet flowers in her hair

She makes the whole world shine

Fairest of the fair

I’m so bummed I couldn’t get more but… I was in the wedding as well =)

It was a beautiful day, a beautiful night ❤

Kari Deezy, you made one heck of a beyond-stunning bride. Adam, you are so perfect for K.D it’s ridiculous! (Now I want a guy with an english accent =) Everything about both of you compliments one another ❤

I wish you both a world of happiness as you enjoy life together, from now until forever.
