Aha! Gotcha. That matrimony word caught your eye- didn’t it? 🙂
Well. Yes. I went to a wedding. Three weeks ago. Which is what makes this update so belated. It was the wedding of my sister-in-law’s sister (Daria) to my cousin (Bradley). One by one, we convert the Goodwans to Zimmermans. Well. That’s the joke anyways.
The happy couple- Brad and Daria- who somehow, miraculously, coordinated a wedding that accommodated guests of great diversity and world views. We were all impressed at the grace in which Daria pulled this off. It was a beautiful day, which I believe could be described as classy and sweet, just as weddings should be.
My job at the wedding was simple, take pictures of all the guests for the guestbook. So, when I arrived I took some trial shots to test the lighting and captured this gem of the mother-of-the-groom with his older sister.
But, as you can see, the location of the photo booth had to be moved due to the chin shadows it produced. So, this dear bridesmaid posed in front of the mailboxes for me to test out the lighting. We liked it much better.
The matron of honor and her man (my brother! 🙂 )
Family. LaTasha’s sister, cousin, and aunt. Such spunky people. We love them dearly. 🙂
My conversation with Akayla (the little one in the middle) went as follows:
me: wow, you’re getting so big.
Akayla: yeah, I’m 8 now you know!
And, my sister with her cousin, holding out cupcake jar souvenirs favors.
The reception hall as ‘clean-up’ commenced.
And the bride and I. So blessed to now be officially related to her.
Congratulations Brad and Daria! We wish you allll the very, very best. I’m so glad I got to celebrate your special day with you!
