I don't even know where to start when I begin to talk about these two. Or three, actually I should say, because this day would not have been anything without one of my favourite people, Rian.
I first met Lloyd and Maggie at the wedding show up at the King's Hall. At least that's what they tell me! Those three days up at the wedding show were such a blur of three crazy days that I'm lucky I remember that I was actually there! During the wedding show I decided to hold a competition and the winners of the competition would win a Storybook Album Package. To enter all you had to do was contact me after the show via email or post and tell me your story of how you fell and love and send along with it your photograph so I would know who you were. One day after the wedding show Maggie sent me her story and made me cry! And not only that, she made my whole family cry when I read it out only moments after receiving it.
Quite a few stories followed after Maggie's and in the end it was between hers and another couple. I have never had to make such a hard decision before in my life because I personally felt involved with both of their stories and that I had to be a part of both of their days. So I chose my couple. Sadly it wasn't Maggie and Lloyd but I knew I couldn't not leave it at that. In fact what followed was something I had never intended to do. I broke my own rules and decided to have a runner up. Maggie, Lloyd and Rian were my runners up. I (begged) asked via email if I could please be involved in some shape or form at their wedding and Maggie sent me the loveliest andmost excited email I have ever received, and which I still keep to this day =)
And that was that. There was no way they were getting rid of me.
So without further ado let me introduce one of my favourite families in the whole wide world...
I love her dress!
These were gifts from Lloyd and Lloyd's parents
This was a very funny moment that I am so glad I caught on camera!! None of the girls (Maggie and her bridesmaids) wanted to be near the pop of the cork incase it hit them so they quickly ran to the other end of the kitchen. The boys however couldn't get there that quick so they ran for cover behind the counter! Needlesss to say the cork popped out safe and sound =)
Kealan getting a kiss from his auntie =)
Lloyd with his Best Man, groomsmen and Dad, Ashley (could you be my assistant at my next wedding Ashley?? Plleeeaaaseee??) - Good job in the rain guys ;)
Maggie and Rian =) Rian walked his mum down the aisle and even I had to sniff the tears back on this one. Fantastic job little dude ;)
Don't even get me started on just how gorgeous/fantastic/awesome Maggie is. Even better still she's oblivious to it all. You were a stunning bride Maggie and if I had a pound everyone who has commented on how gorgeous you in these photographs I'd be one lucky (and better off in the pound department) girl!
Love it!! I think you giggled because you posed, and then blamed the dress for making you pose, but no matter whose fault it was, I love that I got it on camera =)
Best Man Aaron whose wife (Maggie's sister) was well overdue with her baby. I'm sure by now you are a proud daddy so congratulations!
One of my absolute favourite shots of the day =)
There were so many pictures to choose from and I trust me when I say that these are just a snippet from a totally beautiful day.
Maggie, Lloyd and Rian - you know how highly I think of you all. I am so grateful and fortunate that you allowed me to be a part of your day. I really believe that there would have been an experience missing in my life if you hadn't. I cannot wait to see you and hear how your honeymoon went. You are three gorgeously lovely people and this will be a hard experience to forget.
P.S Thank you for helping me spend the last day of my 26th year having so much fun ;)
