Our Photographer-JW Davis

Our photographer, JW, is a great person and close family friend. How lucky are we?! My family and I even spent Easter, eating some wonderful buffet with JW and his sweet wife, Pauline.
When the big day arrives, instead of having a stranger photograph us, it will be someone who I know and really trust. That will reflect wonderfully in all of our pictures!
Check out his website! It is: photographybyjw.com
Be sure to check out his gallery of photographs. You will see one of a cat, that is Baxter, my parents kitty. She is a total sweetheart!

More Pix Of Our Wedding Rings

I was talking to my friend Kimi a couple of days ago- she is getting married November 6th of this year!!! Whhoooo Hoooo! I am very excited for that!!!-and we were discussing guys wedding rings and how hard it is to find good ones. So, I want to take this opportunity to share my favorite pictures of our rings and the story of finding his ring. The pix turned out a bit dark, but I LOVE how look!! This one below is my personal fav. (You can right click on any of the pictures and open in a new window/tab to make them bigger to see.)

I wanted our wedding rings to match, but not be identical. For each ring to have their own personality, just like the owners, but to still have a common foundation! 8-) Reverse time back a few months, to where I had done no ring searching yet. I knew the ring would find me, so I wasn't really worried. Still, it wasn't going to drop out of the sky... I decided to go to Maguire's in Tucson. I have good luck there. And, one of the last rings the lady showed me was the one I ended up getting. But, I walked away from it at the time. They said the size was 8.5 of that particular ring. I had no idea was size Daniel's finger was. But, I figured somewhere close to 8 or 9.

A few weeks later, we were in Helzberg gettting my rings sized and Daniel's finger ended up measuring size 9. I thought to my self, 'PERFECT, that ring at Maguires was super close, no one else has one that looks like that AND the diamonds match in our rings, it is meant to be!!' I went back to the jewerly store the next opportunity I had, it was still fortunately there and I bought it.

Finally, I took Daniel to see the ring and it ended up being too small! (It probably was a size 8...)Daniel could get it on, but it was not comfortable for him. His wedding ring is now a size 9, needless to say. Perfectly sized for Mr Perfect! I know, gag!, is what some of you are thinking!!

The ring is now sitting in it's box-safely-waiting for October 22nd to arrive so it can take it's rightful place on Daniel's handsome, ring finger!!! And I really, really look forward to that!

The Dance

The dance need I say more! Leah is truly the one for me and as the day draws near Oct 22nd, the more excited I am to start are life together as husband an wife. My true love.

Flowers-Red Roses

Here is a picture of the kind of roses we are going to have for the wedding. I love roses and for a wedding, you can't go wrong with red ones. They are very romantic and tradition. I plan on having a big, beautiful, red bouquet.
As for the bridesmaids, their bouquets will be anti-bouquets with red roses and white carniations. It will be simple, yet elegant.
