Plant a Garden Together

Vitaliy constantly wants to work with his hands. He recently sewed together his very own tea bag. No joke! I can’t believe the skills he’s been masking over the years. I think I need to start making a list for him. I’ll be more than happy to keep those hands busy.

Being a country boy at heart though, what he really wants to do is work the land. He talks often of his grandparents’ farm in Ukraine. And has fond memories of harvesting fruits and vegetables, as well as, grabbing fresh eggs from their chicken coop.

While our vegetable garden is still in the works, we decided to start with something simple and spruce up our walkway a bit. Planting this garden of flowers was a pleasure. It was fun working on a project together and now we get to walk past these beauties every day. And smile.

Brian + Shayla Married at
The Sofitel

The best line of the day may have been when Brian promised to love Shayla “for richer or, for mostly poorer.”

The audience joined in one collective laugh and I smiled behind my camera. Regardless of their financial situation, these two will definitely be rich. They’ll be rich in love and in laughter because they aren’t just lovers promising their lives to one another, they are best friends. And friendship is a necessity in any marriage. Brian and Shayla met at church, fell in love over conversation, and are now husband and wife. They said “I Do” at the Hotel Sofitel and their day was filled with elegance, class and a whole lot of love.

Brian and Shayla, we wish you a lifetime together as husband and wife, lovers, and best friends. Your love and admiration for one another is very evident. We hope you will continue to cherish and nurture that in your marriage. Cheers to a lifetime of laughter!

xoxo – V & C
