ooo.  this wedding was fun (well, they all are fun but this one was really fun [well, they all are really fun, but this one was really really fun]).
i met Amber and Travis the night before the wedding at the rehearsal.  nothing like meeting someone(s) for the first time and being immediately thrown into the mix of their family and friends.  it kind of felt like a blind date where i went to their house to pick them up except the date was in their living room and chaperoned by their entire family.  it was terrific; i think the date was dang successful.  Amber, Travis, your thoughts?
the wedding day was spectacular.  i didn't know you could rent out monument circle/soldier's stadium for a wedding, evidently you can!  we showed up at around 3:00pm to make fotos and during the process i think about four-five other bridal party's showed up.  ordinarily i would have felt bad taking my sweet little time fotografing, while other fotografers had to wait.  but i really didn't care because we owned rented the place.
Amber and Travis are two incredible people.  very quick witted, but that's not why they made the day spectacular.  they demonstrated true love -- but not the kind of 'true love' fatigued in Princess Bride* -- if you don't know what i'm talking about re-watch that movie, assuming of course you grew up on that movie like my family did, and notice how many times they say true love, it's quite redonkulous.  rather, it's tender people who deeply love one another that make for spectacular days.  it's not about keeping schedules, nor about making sure every flower pedal is arranged perfectly.  it's about getting married.  plain and simple.  what's your take?
all i can say is CONGRATULATIONS, Travis and Amber!!

p.s. Amber made all of her bridesmaids' hair pieces and her own.  plus! she put together her bouquet the day of (which looked fantastic).

*i love this movie.
