Dean and Marie’s wedding was to happen in the Japanese Gardens of the botanical gardens. Its a beautiful setting and while i don’t have any photos of the wedding yet, I do have a shot of the location.

The Bride came over the bridge and the actual ceremony was on the side of the pond on the left. I was the best man and therefore checked at least 100 times to make sure that i had not lost the rings prior to the ceremony. They had both wanted a simple ceremony and it was a charming experience, she was so nervous and excited that she was shaking and had to take time to breath a little. And let me tell you, there are few experiences more rewarding than standing next to your mate when he gets married

After the ceremony there was the wedding photos, I’m not sure how many but at the end of it i was well and truely sick of smiling as was the happy couple. Every combination of people in the ceremony and i also got to have one with just me and Suzi who was there too (without boyfriend). She looked good and while we are now friends, there was that old feeling in the bottom of my chest where she took my breath away.
