Where to begin… with Danielle’s 10am phone call for help as she was in the hospital (she’s fine!)… a bride who looked like Marilyn Monroe… or with their love story which brought me to tears? The latter! Aud and Kaare are both from Norway, came to the States as kids, and first dated when they were 19/20; but had to go separate ways. In all the years to follow they only met once through friends at an Norwegian event. Now both grandparents and widowed, they met again earlier this year and got married shortly after – 51 years after they first dated! They then held a wedding at Garwoods, where one of Aud’s sons got married years ago. Look at the love between them… so beautiful.

Meghan and J.J.’s wedding featured in another ad for one fine day events, this time on the knot:

Perfect planning and perfect ingredients make for a perfect wedding – albeit with a smidgen of wind. OK, a whole lot of wind! Tahoe Ocean even shut the pier down, but I love love love the movement in the hair and veil. And what great models these two were! Never ending smiles and open to any suggestions. See for yourself how gorgeous everything was….
