Two thousand thirteen marks the year I tied the knot.

It was a day filled with family, faith, and yes, joy unspeakable. Set on the ocean cliffs overlooking La Jolla Cove and surrounded by loved ones, I married Paul, the man God handpicked for me.

So I couldn’t resist sharing some of my favorite photos showcasing our beautiful day and confirmation of a promise fulfilled.

• The Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla, California
• Photography: Jackie Wonders
• Florist: Sweet Blossom Designs

My Dad walking me down the aisle and handing me over to Paul!

My fantastic family!

And Paul’s fabulous family, that welcomed me with open arms…

The wedding party… comprised of family and our dearest friends!

The reception had a hint of a travel theme with each table label by cities around the world that we have traveled, a “Guest Globe” that was signed by all in attendance, and silver luggage tags to mark where to sit… an absolutely perfect transition into a picturesque Fall evening.

I think this photo captured so much from the day… the sun is setting on us as individuals and the new journey together begins as husband and wife. The simple joys, the excitement, the challenges ahead, and the devotion to doing life as one.

Thank you Lord for the many blessings you bestowed upon us and for the hope in a future with you at the center of it all!
