Charissa and her bridesmaids.

Someday it will be his turn at the alter, but for this wedding, nephew Owen was the ring bearer, checking out the scene before the ceremony.

Runaway flower girl? (played by niece Neah)

Charissa and Colin had Unity Sand, rather than candles, since the grains of sand would be forever mixed and could not be separated from each other.  They also included the children, Mya and Avalon, in the ceremony, joining the four together as a new family.

First dance!

Colin’s surprise gift for his bride was to sing “Deliliah” for her at the reception.

Congrats to Charissa and Colin, and many for having me part of this lovely day!
