Chris & Dianna Are Living Happily Ever After!

... in Guam. That's right. You should have seen the double-take that the dude at the postal counter did when I told him I needed to send my package to Guam! But before that...
Dianna was working all over the place, traveling for work constantly, basically living the realistic version of George Clooney's character in "Up in the Air". (I asked - she said that movie was DEFINITELY not realistic!) Anywho, so the lovely Dianna traveled to South Korea (already this is romantic) to visit her cousin, and met the dashing and hilarious Chris, a US military man who was already a friend of her cousin. Voila! An international love story! As if they didn't already have enough stamps in their passports, they went on TWO very enviable honeymoons and now reside in Guam! Dianna is the sister of one of my husbands oldest and awesomest friends, and knowing how great of a person he is and how much fun his family has, I JUMPED at the chance when Dianna asked me to photograph her and Chris' beautiful wedding... and I am so glad I did. After our first phone conversation I knew we'd be great friends! Their wedding was a blast and they were surrounded by people who came from all over the globe to be there for them - definitely a testament to the kind of people they are. Since it takes just shy of FOREVER for mail to get from Burleson, Texas to GUAM, there are a TON of photos, so go ahead and take your potty break now! Enjoy!






















What's that at the top of the stairs?








She's got a connection. ;)













Chris & Dianna tied the knot on 10-10-10!!!







Here ya go, Chris! I know how you adored that angel. :)













Here comes the bride!







Sorry, ladies, the minister is taken.
This was my first wedding with my husband officiating! I have to say I'm very proud of myself for not ogling him the whole night... almost.





AHHHH!!!!







Beautiful!








Those pesky bustles!
















LURVE this moment.



Their first dance was in a lit-up gazebo, at night, under the stars, in a beautiful little world of their own! So romantic!

























At one point, the DJ got out from behind his table to teach everyone the Cha Cha Slide!











Favorite series EVER. Watch the woman on the left learning the Macarena from the gal next to her! TOO funny!









Congratulations, Dianna & Chris! You two are SO in love - I can't tell you how many times I heard someone say the same. "You're gonna wear your lips out before the night is over!" Good for YOU! Thank you so much for letting me in on your special day. I had a great time with you two, your friends, your family... it was all one big love-fest that I was honored to be a part of. I pray that Guam is amazing and treating you both well, and that the USPS will feel the urge to rush a little. :) Congratulations!

Wow! Just awesome! Thank you for capturing our special day! Chris and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the entirety.

A little update... We have been in Guam for about a week and a half after a week in Bora Bora and then a few days in Tokyo for our Honeymoon! I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband!
