ever heard of New Philidelphia ohio? me either! lol. ever heard of St. Lucia? YES! so how why did we

only get to photograph the wedding in the middle of the cornfields when we COULD HAVE gone to paradise?!

my cousin jim, married jess, far far away from allll of us(lol).. on top a beautiful mountain some odd thousand

of feet overlooking the ocean. we aren’t jealous at all. JERKS.

i do have to say…originally we were going to go with them..but bc the group rates sucked and such- it was just going

to be outrageous for all of us. so they went alooone. which at one point, EVERY bride and grooms wishes

they could do during wedding planning. lol.

new philly is such a small town that even inside a salon it’s quiet! this past weekend i was constantly being shoved out

of the way…there, in the entire salon was two hair dressers, jess, her maid of honor and both moms. thats it. i actually

asked if they were closed because it was so weird and empty to me. lol.

meanwhile the boys had a fab time at the golf course.

the vow renewal and reception was held at her mom’s house. so we walked around the surrounding properties

before the festivities began to get some good shots…annnnd relaxation. lol.

i mean this in the nicest way jim:)…for as long as i can remember, jim has HATED being in pictures. IF you could get him to even look at

the camera, he would NEVER SMILE. EVVVVER. then all the sudden we meet this girl jess…and jim became a different man. we knew

whoever this girl was, she rocked and we loved this new happiness in jim! look how happy he is:) thank you jess.

yer so pretty:)

we are all just so happy for you guys! melanie’s favorite.

yay for wearing flip flops to your wedding!! LUCKY! boy do i remember the pain i had from my heels at our wedding. UGH.

sassy, i like it:)

the skinny mini on the right is jen, jim’s big sis.

jim found this antique ring out west. BEAUTIFUL!! for a second i bet you thought we actually took this on

a beach. even looks like the ocean/horizon in the background. good job adam:)

this was so neat to me and i don’t think that many people even knew this fun fact. just before the ceremony began, it started to rain.

by the time of their vows it was POURING. then at the exchange of rings, BAM here comes the sun! the ironic part…in st lucia it was

beautiful the entire ceremony and then at the exchange of rings, it started to rain!! there they told them there that it’s a blessing

from the heavens. how cool is that though? the timing of the rain was just crazy!?

the sand ceremony was pretty cool. i believe my sister referred to it as ‘wedding sand art’ lol. dork.

which is way cooler to have then a few candles (in my opinion).

‘frog’, the best man has an AMAAAZING voice. so good that i thought it was the radio when he was

warming up. he sang “butterfly kisses” for the father daughter dance. i think it tugged on daddy’s

heart strings quite a bit super cute.

dang, who is that adorable little girl?!?! you know her! that’s ella, my niece!!

seriously jim? the stiff arm? totally unfair. adam’s favorite.

the two of them are fulltime traveling nurses. they move city to city every so often and are placed in a different hospital. sounds

awesome to me…i wish we had time to visit you all over the US! try to get placed in hawaii next, then we will visit!

even though we were working, it was a fun little road trip to take with my family.  i hope God blesses you with children soon because

you know we all can’t get enough of them around here! we have this little inside joke…adam wanted to be crowned “lord pace” and

i would be “lady pace”. well bc i find the little things in life so amusing…i rsvp’d with the names “lord and lady pace”. well it kind of

stuck. lol. so thanks for asking us to take part in your beautiful day! it was fun just to hang out and have fun! love you guys!

heart, lord and lady pace.
