Mary and Steve are MARRIED!!!

I have been anticipating this special day for years.  (I'm not kidding, my baby cousin and her husband dated for NINE years before tying the knot!)  I am amazed at their love and loyalty to one another, and ultimately, to God.  Both Mary and Steve are such positive people; they choose to find the good in people and in situations.  They radiate God's love individually, and even more so as a couple.  Both are family-oriented and hardworking.  I couldn't have picked a better mate for Mary or Steve; they balance each other so well.  They go together like peas and carrots...peanut butter and jelly...ice cream and cake.  OK, I'll stop.  I'm just so excited that they are finally married and that they can experience the ups and (being realistic) downs of marriage.  Because no matter how difficult things may seem at times, I know that their love for each other is rooted in Christ.

Thank you, Mary and Steve, for giving me the honor of standing next to you on your wedding day. 

Enjoy the pictures!

Just MARRIED!

Mostly nice, with a little bit of naughty.

First dance as husband and wife.

Father-Daughter dances are my favorite part of every wedding.

Such a special relationship.
