Lucy in the sky...

...with diamonds. Or more like Lucy on a walk. Its been a while since Lucy has made a blog appearance so its high time she show her face around here again. A lot of my blog readers have been emailing me and asking "hey whats it like to take Lucy on a walk in the afternoon?"* Instead of just telling you how awesome it is I thought why not show you!!! So get ready for the virtual dog walk experience! Extra comfy walking shoes and doggy bags are recommended.



Heading out... strutting her stuff for the neighbors to see...



Near the mailboxes, Lucy spots another dog. She proceeds to flop around on the end of the leash like a fish out of water. Its completely entertaining until the barking starts. Note: must walk crazy chihuahua using a harness, otherwise she will choke herself out. Asphyxiated chihuahua = boring chihuahua.



Brad finds it funny that I call the pile of poo Lucy is sniffing at "Poops" Apparently I shouldn't call it poops because poop is already plural. Like deer.



Brad is very proud that Lucy is making her own poops now...



Its not easy being this good looking.

(Blue Steel a la Lucy)

Tiffany & Mitch's Wedding | Chapel in the Garden, Port Orange, FL

Tiffany and Mitch met in middle school but never hung out in the same circles. Although Tiffany always thought Mitch was cute, a love did not blossom until many years later. Relationships came and went in both of their lives but they never found their "one." After traveling down some rather rocky roads in their lives eventually their paths crossed once again. At a restaurant in their hometown they found one another at last. Sparks flew and seemingly overnight Mitch and Tiffany were inseparable. After so many years had gone by fate brought them both back to their home town where the bad boy from middle school could finally be with the sweet girl next door.

Tiffany and Mitch planned their wedding in just three short weeks. They had waited so long already to be together, they didn't want to waste any more time. They were married on a cold Friday night at the Chapel in the Garden in Port Orange, FL. Surrounded by their family and friends, they, along with Mitch's daughter Alanna, became a family. The ceremony was heartwarming and sincere as these two finally joined paths for the rest of their lives.






















Tiffany and Mitch presented Alanna with a necklace to show their commitment to being her loving parents.







So I never showcase the formals on the blog or the website (mostly because they are just a bit boring)... but this is proof we actually do take them. I love this one in particular because of Alanna's pose of choice.



I love this shot... Can't you just see it as a huge 5 foot long canvas print hung over a sofa. Gorgeous!



I also just love this series of shots...











Tiffany & Mitch... Thank you both so much for inviting us into your lives and allowing us to tell your love story. We are so glad you two have finally found your other halves. We can't imagine either of you with anyone else. You seem custom made for one another. Alanna is a very lucky girl to have so much love in her life.

Lots of love to all three of you!
Mel & Brad
