When Emily and I first talked on the phone about her wedding, I knew right away that not only would I LOVE to do her wedding but I would LOVE to be her friend!  We laughed more than we talked and I just knew that I had an awesome bride on my hands!  She and Matt had their first date at Starbucks and through getting to know each other realized that they had a ton in common!  It was meant to be!  They knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, so they decided to make it official now instead of later.  They had an intimate ceremony with close friends and family at La Foret Restaurant in San Jose, Ca alongside a beautiful creek running under an ivy covered bridge.  It was perfect.  My favorite part was when Emily and her father started walking down the aisle only to stop halfway because she had forgot to hold her bouquet!  They started all over and she began her walk down the aisle for the second time!  Most brides only get that honor once, but Emily had it twice!  Not to mention a 3rd time when they have their big wedding this summer!  I have never laughed so much during a ceremony.  Usually I would never consider laughing out loud, but I felt like part of the family and everyone was just having a great time that it just seemed appropriate to join in on the fun!   I absolutely cannot wait until their engagement session and their other wedding this summer!  I feel so lucky to hang out with this couple again and again and again!  yah!
