My very first friend was my brother. If you ask our parents they would probably say we fought like cats and dogs but as we grew up we created an unconditional bond and we have been lucky to share some of life’s most memorable moments. My brother blessed me with two nieces that I love to the moon and back. So not only was I sister bear protective of Chris, I couldn’t just let anyone come into his life! I will never forget when he took Marisa on their first date. I wasn’t there but I knew just how giddy, excited and big time nervous he was. His romantic side really shined the next few months. I knew there was something special about Marisa because he was happy again. After meeting her myself and watching their relationship grow, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest the moment Chris told me he was ready to propose. I have hoped for this moment/day for a very, very long time. Not only did this mean Marisa will become my sister, but I will be gaining another niece, Angelina. Marisa’s daughter is out of this world amazing. She loves spending time with Chloe and Claire. Angelina has a warm, inviting, loving charisma about her. She fits right in and we welcome her with open arms. You two make a great team and I love seeing you both together. All three kids will grow along with you in a loving home and the journey will be worth every moment. Thank you for not only allowing me to capture this special day, but allowing me to be part of it every step of the way!!
