Individuals Behind the Big Day

Food: we are having an Asian influenced reception (NC) dinner. Renee, a family friend here in Chicago, is coming down to be our in house chef. She has be making amazing food for us to taste, which includes sushi. She is also making the cake, and by no surprise, its not really a cake (I'll let you be surprised. Its fantastic). But we are so excited and so extremely thankful for Renee. Thank you again, Love.

Photography: (my biggest excitement) let me first explain my mindset on this subject. Since I live in a world were I am constantly analyzing light and organizing colors and look for the perfect setting for things - of course I would make that happen for the wedding... almost every piece of it. And whats funny is that I almost put on the invitations, "please wear the following colors: ...." But I thought that I would be deemed a little to crazy if I actually did that. (But if you really want to know: please don't wear big prints - stick with solids; pastels are perfect... the color spectrum is always changing but a good bet would be Reds, Browns, Blacks, Whites and Tans.) But I am making decisions on the basis on "how would this photograph." And thus leads us to introduce Dirk Fletcher. He is the director of the photography program I am in, here in Chicago. He is a brilliant photographer and an awesome person to hang around. I am very thankful for him to be apart of the day. Thank You, Dirk.

Ordained Individual: Matt Coghill and his wife have been awesome mentors and friend to Brian over the years. When I came into the picture, they also took me under their wing. As they prepare to move to Brussels as missionaries, they have put in their plans to marry us before leaving the country. We love them and thank you once again for all you have done for us and can't wait to visit you in your new home.
