In a fit of anger I slapped her in the face! Yes one day I was so mad at my little sister Natalie, I slapped her in the face. It only happened once in my life and she used it against me for many years to come! Many of you wouldn’t believe I could do something like that, I know I’m pretty nice! Natalie and I have a great relationship she is my best friend and I know she will always be there for me when I need her. That’s what I love about family no matter how mad they can make you, you love them always and forever. I remember my mom once said to us, “you can make fun of your family all you want but if someone else does, well they got it coming!” I love my family, I wouldn’t trade them for the world!
When Alisha asked me to take some photos of her brother and sisters… I didn’t know what I was getting myself into! Just kidding, they were great! I loved all the commentary during the shoot. We had planned to do it one afternoon a couple of weeks ago. So we got a couple shots but then it started to rain and it got really dark. But the next day was beautiful, so I emailed Alisha and asked her if they still wanted to do the painting (you will see what I mean below) and they were all for it! So again, thanks for laughing and loving!
“Everything happens at the right time.” Growing up around the corner in Sarnia is not where they met, living in Toronto at the same time just two blocks away from each other is not where they fell in love, and even when his son lived across the street from her in the little town of Petrolia, they did not bump into each other. But one night while Lindsay was on a date, Greg was introduced to Lindsay through a friend of a friend. She knew she had to meet this man again. Two months later she proposed and the rest is history.
The wedding took place at Bogey’s Inn located along the St. Clair River about 25 minutes out of Sarnia. It was a perfect setting for this green garden wedding. Lindsay wanted something a little different and asked all the guests to wear white while she wore green! With thunder roaring in the distance the wedding and reception all took place outside, and it was perfect!
One stormy winter night in February, a handsome, bearded, rough city boy walked into a lodge during a youth retreat. With all the commotion going on few noticed his arrival, but one girl saw him slip in and knew she had to meet him. The daughter of a preacher there was something that intrigued her about this biker boy. She leaned over to her sister and whispered “that’s the man I’m going to marry.” Almost 35 years later, they are still happily married with three grown children, one of which happens to be me. I love that story I would ask my mom to tell me it over and over again as a little girl. There is always something about love stories that we can’t get enough of. Deb like my mom knew that Brent was “the one” from the moment she met him. But one small problem, he was dating her best friend! She knew they would end up together so she just let things happen. They were best friends by the end of high school. With a handful of close friends and family present Brent and Deb declared their love for each other and shared their vows. It was a beautiful ceremony on Brent’s family farm. I loved all the bright colours Deb had incorporated into all the details. They could not have asked for better night. The sky was breathtaking.
See for yourself….
