Let me cut right to the chase: My sister is engaged!

After many years of dating, with many difficult challenges thrown at them (faced with strength, dignity and compassion; a credit to their characters and the truth that LOVE WINS) two of my favorite beings on earth said yes to continuing the adventure of relationship together as husband and wife! Well, technically a giggly, tearful "OK!"...but same result, ya know? A wedding will be had!

They say it's not how well you are loved, but how well you love that truly matters in this life -- These two teach me that all the time, and I am BLESSED and BLISSED to have witnessed this magic moment.

So, because it's really sister's story to tell (and I have to save some of this creative love energy for a masterful Maid of Honor speech!), I will just say that it was a beautiful, wonderful, extra special weekend here in SF. I am honored, humbled, and over-joyed to have been a part of it.

And, I'll share some with-permission photos as proof of said joyful weekend! It's fairly obvious which shots from Saturday to Monday are DSLR and which are iPhone, and I apologize for the awkward mix, but all-in-all I'm happy with the amount of  smile worthy moments paparazzi-style captured :)

Pretty please.
