I had an AMAZING wedding on Saturday. There were people visiting from four continents and across the country to share with Angela & Brendan as they swore to share their lives together. I find it a true testament to how genuine and real these two are to have so many gather to share their day. I was excited and touched that Julia asked me to shoot this wedding with her. It was going to be a Greek Orthodox ceremony – so cool & at the Boulder Theater – Even COOLER! When I showed up at the church it was raining a bit with some sound effects, a.k.a. Thunder, thrown in there; then, I became even MORE EXCITED. I just KNEW it was going to be an AMAZING DAY! I was not dissappointed. I know Many fear that rain on the wedding day is unlucky, but if you go through different cultures it is actually said to be a good omen. In Italy they say: “sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata“, sposa is bride; but mostly rain symbolizes washing away the past and starting fresh – so rain on a wedding day means that many changes will happen. Umm hello getting married! That is a change isn’t it? I think it is really cool! I know my mother in law was so upset that it was raining (misting really, but to an Orange County lady it was RAIN with capital letters) on B and my wedding day, but I didn’t mind at all. I knew that nothing else mattered but marrying my “B”. In fact, I still remember thinking that it was beautiful with the air smelling clean, the grass shinning and the flowers glowing. Ever since then I have had a soft spot for rain on a wedding day, and also warm fuzzies when it clears up! That is what happened on Saturday. The rain, in true Colorado fashion, was there for about 20 minutes and then left while the ceremony occurred to have everyone leave the church to see the nice clean air and green grass that is so rare here. It was truly beautiful.
Angela & Brendan than you for letting us be part of your amazing day. The bacon wrapped dates were the best ever, and the dancing oh the dancing! I swear I want to be Greek!
Love your life with peace and joy.
