A Lively Wedding Filled with Nature at Marvimon in Los Angeles

121012_m&t_00346

One of my last weddings in LA, was for none other than Minhee and Terry! This wedding meant a lot to me because not only was it for one of my best friends who I love and respect so much, but I was honored to be a bridesmaid, have my son be one of the ring bearers, help plan and have live.love.create coordinate the wedding. It was also significant because soon after this wedding, both Minhee and I moved out of state to begin the next chapter of our lives. I'm so glad that we could celebrate this milestone as well as adventure together, she in Missouri and I in Texas, as we support our husbands and enjoy married life! It's also nice to have a friend in the same time zone!

After dating for almost a decade, I had been looking forward to finally see [how] Minhee & Terry tie the knot. They did not disappoint... what an awesome, laughter-filled, fun night it was! Not only was Minhee & Terry's wedding beautiful, it was a day that really showcased who the two are as individuals and how they complement each other as a couple. I'm sure I can speak for everyone present that Minhee and Terry's wedding will go down on their list of "one of the best weddings ever!" Many great friendships and memories were formed that night. :)

A memorable moment that still makes me laugh was during the ceremony. One of the geronimo balloons popped and Minhee let out a SCREAM which erupted into uncontrollable laughter! It really set the tone and only Minhee could create an environment that was so entertaining and touching at the same time. One thing's for sure, no matter how tough a day Terry may have, he can always count on Minhee to bring a smile to his face. In turn, Terry is the perfect partner for Minhee. You may recall from the e-session post, how sweet and thoughtful he is. He really will do anything for this girl and I mean ANYTHING, like learn the "Gangnam Style" dance for a surprise performance! Minhee had us, the bridal party, learn the dance and perform too, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Terry's willingness to do it for her and then to actually see him dance - and dance well! Lol! It was awesome!

Bohemian Chic Lake Wedding at Malibou Lake Mountain Club in Malibu

This next wedding was a special treat because Julie & John are not just good friends of ours, but "family". Julie was there from the beginning, encouraging us as we toyed with the idea of starting live.love.create. events. It's due to friends like her who have wholeheartedly supported and believed in us that we can continue to do what we love. We are so pleased to say that in turn, we were there from the beginning, encouraging her when she toyed with the idea of possibly having something more than a friendship with John. We watched as John pursued Julie and Julie finally returned his affections. Seeing these two together, all we can say is that the shoe fits. ;)

"So this is love, Mmmmmm

So this is love

So this is what makes life divine I'm all aglow, Mmmmmm And now I know The key to all heaven is mine My heart has wings, Mmmmmm And I can fly I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of Mmmmmm Mmmmmm So this is love"

First kiss as husband and wife!

The cake was made by Julie. Did we mention she's a pastry chef?!

Alice in Wonderland Themed Beachside Wedding at Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica

About a month ago, I went to New York for my niece's first birthday and while visiting, I had a chance to grab lunch with Hanna. We caught up on life and I was happy to hear that her and Andrew's love and life story continues to be filled with many blessings, encouraging people and precious moments. I can't believe Hanna and Andrew have been married for eight months now. It feels like only yesterday when we were Google video-chatting [from New York to Los Angeles] to go over the wedding details.

Hanna and Andrew's wedding was truly a testimony of who they are as people and who they are as a couple. Not only are they fun and can dance the night away, but they are humble and God-centered. The ceremony was not a reflection of themselves but who they are in Christ and all glory and praise went to the Lord. It personally challenged me to remember Christ in all things: my daily life, my marriage, my work. I am so blessed for Hanna and Andrew's friendship and am so excited that we were able to be a part of their special day.

xoxo, janet

enjoy these wedding photos by the wonderful Brandon Kidd

We loved it when Andrew shared a moment of prayer with Hanna after the pouring of sand to symbolize two becoming one.

Hanna and Andrew's wedding had touches of an "Alice in Wonderland" theme.
