Summer Love.................

Who doesn't love a summer wedding. The beautiful blooming flowers, the warm summer air, the dancing butterflies. Ahhhh.
I always love to watch the groom at a wedding. It's so special to me to get to watch his expression as he sees his bride.
The flower girls are also a real treat. Beautiful dresses, special hair dos, fresh flower petals......




And then the bride emerges. Innocent, glowing, simply beautiful.................

And they meet at the 'altar'- two fresh young faces ready to embrace their lives together.........and then comes my favorite part....................When the bridesmaids try and talk the groom into coming back to the altar. Begging with him, pleading with him............please.................And it is always such a blessing to watch the person officiating the ceremony to chase him down
and physically drag him back to the altar.And as they hold him there, screaming and crying, it's hard not to think about how beautiful it all really is.Then comes the sprinkling of the flower petals on the sobbing, hysterical groom.
Ahh yes, don't you just love a summer wedding.

Oh my word. You guys crack me up! Sam is going to need counseling someday, isn't he? It's good that you're taking photographic evidence!
