Grandchildren at your wedding?

St. Bernadette's Parish in Springfield was the site of Jin and Mike's ceremony. They saw me in action about a year earlier at another wedding when they stopped me and asked me for my card. It was a beautiful sunny day.
This turned out to be one of their favorite pictures from the day. It's not often that your granddaughter gets to be a big part of your wedding day.
Jin and Mike met at an event by "Events and Adventures". They plan and host events and adventures (thus the name) just for singles. 1 in 5 relationships now begin with an on line dating site, but this company adds a unique and fun twist to that.
The flowers girls were just too cute.
World famous singer Mark Forrest provided the vocals for the ceremony. I've heard him sing before and actually own a few of his CD's. Mark Forrest is an International Irish Tenor. He has captivated audiences from the White House and Carnegie Hall to Cathedrals and Stages Worldwide.
After the ceremony, we headed over to Washington Golf and Country Club for the reception.
Jin and Mike were so much fun to work with.
Golfing is a big part of Jin's life, so she really wanted a shot of her putting in her wedding dress.
We were able to get lots of great shots in front of and around this great venue.
After about 15 minutes outside, we went inside to be introduced.
Mike and Jin's first dance...
Brought everyone to their feet!
Ed Witles, The Elegant DJ, provided the music for evening. I've worked with Ed a number of times and I highly recommend him!!
Here's a shot of Jin's granddaughter singing a song to Jin and Mike.
Mike's mom passed away about a year ago. Mike and Jin wanted to remember her by placing her bouquet of flowers at her headstone. I thought this was a unique and loving way to include her in their special day.
Congratulations Jin and Mike!
