FAB WEDDING AT RONALD REAGAN BUILDING

I really must say that wrapping up this years weddings has been bittersweet!! We finished up this weekend with the Fantastic couple Kristin and Marcus. They wed at the St Aloysius Chapel at Gonzaga, and the reception toke place at the Ronald Reagan ITC Building!! It was truly a gorgeous affair. The bride was stunning and the groom was quite dapper in his tux.

This couple truly has touched my heart in so many ways that I must share their strength with you. Kristin came to me about 6-8 months ago by way of her older sister Kim. Kim really saw Kristin drowning in her planning and I am pretty sure that Kim was going nuts as well :) Kristin, Kim and their sweet kid sister Kelli are an amazing trio, and they remind me of my sisters in many ways.

About a month ago these amazing young women lost their father. With a month to go before Kristin's wedding, her father lost his battle that I am sure he tried so hard to fight. There was talk of postponing the wedding, but the oh so strong trio decided to move forward. Now let me say that these ladies already lost their mother, and I am still reeling from the strength, and drive that allowed them keep moving. I am sure a few of you are also tearing up as you read this, but it continues... On the evening that they buried their beloved "Daddy", Marcus the groom lost his father...

I know its unreal, unfair, and simply unbelievable!!! With that said we still moved forward!!!! They decided in memory of their lost parents they would progress :) They are truly blessed and inspiring. I must thank them all for showing me that whatever storms may and will come, I can make it!! I thank you for showing me as WOMEN that we have amazing courage, tenacity and resilience!! You ladies are now my family for life (whether you want to or not), and I am blessed to have you!

To the deceased Mr Washington, Mr & Mrs Baldwin, I know that you were all present on that blessed day, (there was a sky light at the reception for you to peek in). I also hope that you know you raised incredible children, that have become unbelievable adults. For Mr & Mrs Baldwin, your little girl (actually all of them, not just Krisitin) in very good hands with Marcus.

May you all rest in peace!
