Christine and Richard chose Sarah McLachlan's song Ordinary Miracle as their wedding song. John and I were just listening to it and realized it is a perfect wedding song. I am actually quite surprised I haven't heard it before at a wedding - I like that it isn't your typical wedding song, as it isn't just about a couples love. John, who was my assistant at the wedding said "this song let's more people join in the feelings of the day." - and that is exactly why it was the perfect choice for Christine and Richard. It sums them up.
Let me share another moment from the wedding. As the couple are about to cut their cake, a three year old guest, comes up and makes herself part of the action. As her parents go to remove her Richards says " it's fine, she is part of us."
I hope this rambling makes sense, maybe you had to be there. But Christine and Richard, have a special quality that makes you feel you are part of them. When we first met we talked and talked and found many things in common, I think they could do that with anyone.
Grace, honesty, a down-to-earth quality and optimism - they possess all these characteristics and with those qualities, and the love between them, I am sure so much goodness and strength awaits them.
They said I do at Pacific Shores, an absolutely stunning location for a wedding. We just did a quick photo session and this is what happened......

Karen told me that I would connect with you and she didn't lie (anyone who has a headlamp fetish has my respect.) It was a great way to spend day.
(09.18.09 @ 10:30 PM)Thanks for capturing the magic of my little treed picnic spot, for giving up your Sunday off and for bringing John. The day went by so fast but you two kept up through all of the chaos and helped keep it under control. I know you've had a long day but when you get a chance I'd sure appreciate it if you'd change the 'a' to an 'e'. I was only prepared for my last name to change when I got married :-). Don't forget to find time to dance even if classes aren't in the cards right now.
