This is a Story About a Girl

She is from Irish roots and back in 2005 she met the man of her dreams. He was perfect in every way, looked Irish, acted Irish, and even drank like an Irishman. You would have thought it was an Irish match made in heaven. But it was not. He was 100% Italian. From an Italian family who spoke loud, cooked amazing and drank to fill up the time. But they were in fact a match made in heaven. They got married on October 13, 2005 and in December of that same year, he passed away. He was only in his 20's so this was a shock to all who were there to experience it.

The years however passed and his memory was not forgotten, but the hole he left in her heart remained. That was until she met someone. He was perfect for her, and she found him on match.com. She was hesitant because originally she was not looking for Mr. Right because she felt she had already found and lost him. However he was Mr. Right and he soon proposed marriage. They got married this past February, had a son in June (on my birthday I might add!) and we were all invited to join them in a celebration of their love this weekend at their wedding reception and wedding service for family and friends.

It had to be one of the most fun weddings I have ever been to. I had been to her last wedding, but it seems that it paled in comparison to this one. You could see the light in her face as she took her vows, and the smile in his eyes as he took his. You could tell that this time around it was a little bit truer. Not that the last one was not true love, but there was something special about this one. Like this time around she was willing to make it last forever, but she was willing to simply living in the moment.

I took a few photos, but I didn't bring my camera because she had hired photographers and I didn't want it to be a big deal that I brought mine. In hindsight I should have brought it anyway. But here are a few pictures of the fun that was had, and the love that they share. Oh how sappy!!

They are: The couple getting greeted by guests while holding their baby, the couple entering the reception after dinner, the bridesmaids dancing, and the whole bridal party dancing. (my sister is the one to the immediate left of the bride in the last two pictures)
