Jarntip + Shawn

Weddings are one of my favourite things in the world. I would love to just go to random people’s weddings and just soak in all the love and happiness that comes with a wedding day, like Wedding Crashers, but less hook up and more fly on the wall. It is a day filled with so much joy, and hope, and happiness.

I love the anticipation of waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle, even though I JUST saw her 10 minutes ago.

I like to look at the groom, and watch him watch her. I love to hear all of the readings and declarations of love, especially when they are words I've never heard before.

I love all of the decorations, all the little details the bride has worked so hard to coordinate.

I love celebrating afterwards. I love night weddings where the day fades into night.

I like the dancing, especially when everyone has had a bit much to drink, and doesn’t notice that I am not in fact the great dancer I pretend to be.

I love the cake (who doesn’t love the cake!).

I love watching total strangers joining together to love two people. I love getting together with old friends who I don’t see often enough.

And of course, I love the kids. I love that they don’t really know how important this day is and they don't care. They came to dance and eat cake. And they are always so happy.

I really think weddings are a lot like a birthday (like the actual day a little one is born), except with pretty clothes, dresses, cake, and dancing. It is a day full of hope and excitement. A day that no matter what goes wrong is always the most perfect day you could ever imagine.

These pictures are all from my friend, Jarntip’s wedding this past weekend. It was even more beautiful than the pictures. It was a perfect night that I want to do all over again.

Congratulations Jarntip and Shawn. We love you!

Liz, I feel the exact same way about weddings, but you described it in a way I could never put into words. So true...what an amazing and memorable day! The pics are amazing. I had to ask mom if you took them yourself, because I thought you had borrowed them from the professional photographer! :) I'm impressed!
