Do you recall Yari + Ren’s engagement blog post? Ren said then “Throughout your time together, you’re likely to go through some rough patches, but if you stick together and stay positive, you’ll get to experience some beautiful moments.” He’s has a point and did these guys stay positive–read on!

The man in the middle is known by his wife Yari “as the most incredible man on the face of the planet”. When faced with the reality that Yarima was without a wedding dress less than 24 hours before the wedding ceremony, Ren was there in the most reassuring way. He told her “I would marry you in a garbage bag and you would still be the most beautiful girl in the world”.

“Everyone said something always goes wrong, but really, did it have to be the dress? It was by the grace of God and the generosity of spirit which the owner and staff of Chic Parisien showed me,  that I made it through the night.  With the dress of my dreams in hand, I was ready to get married.”

I love brides–their beautiful, romantic and in love. To understand what Yarima went through and to witness her poise, grace and gentle spirit, it was any amazing moment when we all saw Yari for the first time.

“Walking into the church I was anxious to find Ren.  Once our eyes met nothing else mattered.  I was going to marry the man of my dreams, my best friend.”

I look at a moment in wonderful detail and within a  setting there are mini details that I look for. The image above is one of those wonderful mini details.

Weddings are full of moments–there’s so much action going on! And the action is obvious, but it’s the “reaction” that completes the story. While Yari and Ren shared their first dance–the Mothers shared a moment of  total joy together!

You think Ren is flying high at this point? This was one amazing party that even had the Dad’s taking a leap of faith into the crowd. Check out the slide show and you’ll see what I mean.

“We spent the evening intoxicated with happiness.  I think it was in the air 🙂  We danced and ate and laughed and danced some more and before we knew it, they were playing the last song and we were heading up to our magnificent suite as man and wife.  Mrs. Garcia … fits like a pair of fuchsia Louboutins … perfect!!!!!!” Check out the amazing slide show below and check out the stunning Christian Louboutin’s and yes they are fuchsia!
