I Scott take you, Blue

Casually walking hand in hand, Scott recounted first meeting Melissa and the moment he fell in love with her eyes. Good thing, I said, because eyes are one of  the few things we have from birth that don't change - no matter how old. 'No really', he said, shy about his profession of weakness for this blue-eyed beauty. He wanted to make it clear. Melissa blushed.


It's a heart-warming afternoon spent with Scott and Melissa. They are smitten. They are giddy. They are beautiful together.


In the same creek where Melissa hunted crayfish as a child, she held hands with her love and they talked the day away about the amber season, a green wedding and blue-eyed babies.


Being this much in love infuses one with a stoicism that nothing can shake.


Long glances remind onlookers of the conversations between souls that need no words. 



There's not much you can hide in the eyes.
Although we suspect Melissa might be stashing some jewels in hers... ;) 





Congratulations Scott and Melissa. Snuggle up for winter - your spring vows are around the corner!
Angela & Laci

Mia means "mine"

My younger sister is getting married. My childhood bathtub buddy, my teenage partner in crime, my adult confidant is tying the proverbial knot. 

My parents named her Anna Maria, which, for a two-year-old is a torturous tongue twister, so Anna Maria simply became 'Mia', which has stuck. In Italian 'mia' also happens to mean 'mine' which as a two-year-old I likely took as hard fact.

The truth is that Mia was never 'mine' - she wasn't one of those little sisters that would get you stuff, take a dare or share the blame for something gone wrong. Mia has always been her own person. 




Then along came Sean - The ying to Mia's yang. 


They laugh together...                   

They play together...

And they do it all with style.


Mia and Sean stand up straight because they're both leaning on one another. And as all couples come to know - balance is everything.



P.S. Sean - You might be super-duper and we might love you like your one of ours, but I reserve the right as the forever older sister to be silly, giggle incessantly and share 30 years worth of inside jokes with my Mia without explanation and for no apparent reason. Some things are still mine ;)
