I hope that this post can be kept secret from a certain groom-to-be. With any luck, he doesn't even know that this blog exists. The rest of you, however, simply must see this gorgeous bride:





Wouldn't the world be a sadder place if deprived of this beauty?

I have to confess that Jessica is my cousin Sandy's daughter, but that in no way colors my totally objective opinion. Some truths just cannot be disputed.

We had fun trying out all sorts of poses and lighting at my favorite new East Columbia location. The fun could have continued for several more hours -- if only we both hadn't been silly enough to make other plans for the evening.

"So who is the lucky groom?" you're surely asking yourself. Well it's none other than Dallas, the most good-natured and up-for-anything guy I've yet to work with:

I'm thinking that this is going to be one happy household! Only three months until the big day -- hang in there, you two (and mother-of-the-bride Sandy). The best is truly yet to come.

Trust steadily in God,

hope unswervingly,

love extravagantly.

And the best of the three is love.

Go after a life of love

as if your life depended on it --

because it does.
