The two of them as kids... with Robbi's beloved lab, Marti as a pup. Each page is centered around a letter of the alphabet, describing what she means to him and it's just one adorable adventure with lots of personal flair. Of course, when we get to the W page, she was in for a huge surprise as he asked her to be his wife in the exact location as illustrated. (Marti was tied to the bench and he even had a plaid shirt on!)<br />
<br />
Bryan came up with every single detail in each scene, so I had a blast just helping his funny vignettes come to life. It was my huge honor to get to be part of this project! Way to set the bar high for all the single men left in the universe :)<br />

We enjoyed lots of porch time at the B&B, strolled, shopped and soaked up time away. And ate like kings. And saw Texas Hill country critters near and far.<br />

They had this great entertainment theme in mind, so we ran with it! Bold, names in lights, little bit of Broadway, little bit of Vegas... Lots of fun to design.<br />

(Amazing! You can and should catch some of the audio.)<br />
So 3000 people were encouraged to send in creative kissing photos. Sounds like a great idea!<br />
<br />
These were tons of fun, so I thought I'd share them and add them to my portfolio to pull down my <i>serious post </i>average.<br />

<br />
I'm a sky nut. Any hint of color, texture, moodiness going on in the sky and I feel the urge to take a pic. Thought I'd share some everyday beauty I've snapped. (A couple are from our New England trip...you might be able to tell. Hint: not my view out the window at work)<br />

<br />
Let me explain.<br />
<br />
The groom (with tears in his eyes) recounted to me the reoccurring dream his bride has shared with him. He would give the painting to his new wife as a surprise wedding gift. The image he described was of her sitting next to Jesus under a tree overlooking a vividly colored valley. You see, both bride and groom's lives (and mine, so I <i>get it</i>) have been drastically changed by coming into relationship with Christ, and truly understanding <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzqTFNfeDnE" target="_blank">Who He is</a>; the King of all, reckless Lover of our souls, and the Fulfillment of our every desire.<br />
<br />
Wow. So the scene is <i>true</i> and <i>real</i> and oh so <b>impossible</b> to actually capture.<br />
<br />
As I began, I did some word studies of the description he provided and found out just how Biblical this scene was. Here's a little of what I found, which he asked me to write out along the edges of the canvas.<br />

I imagine in Jesus' presence there will be trees, certainly the ones who trusted Him to be their righteousness, and He Himself the fullness of wisdom; there will no longer be dark valleys, no more fear and no more evil, and no more longing to be near Him but actual nearness. There will be no sun because Christ Himself will shine, and the rainbow as a picture of God's faithfulness for all of the ages will be made visible in His radiant Presence. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Are you kidding me? This is incredible. And it's true for those of us who know Him. (Do you know Him? How He loves you and invites you to the table of grace.)</div>

They are best of friends, yet so uniquely different in their personalities. They are like nieces to us, so I wanted to make something special that would remind them just how precious they are when mommy and daddy read it to them. It was fun to try to capture even an ounce of their cuteness!<br />
<br />
These descriptions are straight from God's Word. He loves us so much and tenderly delights in His children. <i>I need to be reminded of this.</i><br />
