The curlers were cooling along an adjacent end table at the salon. The final loose tendril had been tucked away in the ebony curls and the veil had just been pinned when her matron of honor asked, Sooo, do you feel brideful?!? Meesa rested the handheld mirror in her lap and smiled most assuredly. Apparently, she was feeling most brideful.
When Andy saw Meesa in her dress and veil before the ceremony—the two of them nestled in a quiet room of their large church—oversized tears rolled down his cheeks. He grabbed her hands tightly and took a step backward to take her all in; the sight of her, the smell, the sound of her breathing. As she wiped the tears from his face, they embraced and the tears continue to roll.
Meesa and Andy spent the day amongst 350 friends and family celebrating in their day. Their amazing bridal party (and Milee!!) came together and helped orchestrate a flawless day full of love, tears, and laughter. As the newlyweds floated from table to table, it was evident that Meesa was no longer feeling brideful, but, rather, feeling flagrantly in love.
Meesa and Andy, thank you for allowing me to document your day. I’m convinced your friends are out-of-this-world and I appreciate being warmly welcomed by them. Have fun in Paris and Rome…don’t forget to kiss under the Eiffel Tower! 😉
After their ceremony, we headed to the Omni Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles for their second wedding reception and tons of partying!
I just had to post this picture…I love my clients!! I asked Meesa and Andy if they were willing to stand in the middle of the street for a few pictures. They obliged, but no more than two minutes later, a police caravan headed our way. Before we got ticketed, we scampered off, but we all thought it was pretty funny stopping traffic! 🙂
And I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to Martin and Elizabeth at Barrington Flowers for their amazing work on the bouquets, centerpieces, and aisle accoutrements…they were just stunning!If you'd like to see more of their wedding, CLICK HERE for a slideshow!
