Heather and her daughter, Bella (and Heather’s BFF and the fiancée of Chris’s lifelong friend), started the day getting their nails done before picking up Heather’s wedding dress at home. I met the ladies while they were getting ready because Chris pulled me aside the at their rehearsal and let me in on a secret – he was going to have sparkly surprises waiting for his girls when they checked into The Grand Hotel where they were doing hair and makeup (they loved the gifts – obviously). Heather’s friend/makeup artist got Heather and Bella gussied up…and Heather’s best friend did her hair (Heather, herself, did Bella’s). The ceremony was performed in front of Chris and Heather’s family and friends on the sprawling greens of The Surrey House and Gardens. Bella was their attendant – and Heather’s dad, who officiated, performed a special ceremony uniting Bella, Heather and Chris as a family after Chris and Heather became husband and wife.
I was fortunate enough to meet Chris several years ago when he was bartending at a restaurant I frequented when I moved back to the metroplex. He’s a superfantastic guy…and I love how much he loves Heather and her daughter. Chris + Heather – I hope you love your wedding photos! You two have so many people who love you – it was absolutely awesome to be surrounded by all of it.
Rachel - SHE GRABBED HIS BUTT. And I love these. The butt grabbing one in particular.
Suzie - These are so awesome! Monica, you did such a wonderful job. I have too many favorites so far….
monica - Haha! Glad you like them – and there’s no such thing as too many favorites!!
