Christian & Jolene ::Wedding::

I'm done. That's it. Finished. With wedding season that is. And what a way to end the season!

Meet Christian & Jolene. Their story is pretty unique these days. They met in high school (well, the met before then, but it wasn't more till high school) and started dating as seniors. They graduated, she went to Arizona for college to play volleyball, he stayed in California. There were a lot of cross-state trips, a lot of phone calls, too much missing each other. Eventually, she graduated and came back to California and the relationship only grew stronger. They have gone through a lot during their several years of dating, but they have clung to each other through it all. And finally, FINALLY, it was time to say "I do".

Thanks to the fires around southern California this weekend, Christian almost didn't make it to his own wedding and several of the guests were also delayed or unable to attend. Needless to say, things were hectic all morning and the phones were ringing off the hook. They managed to keep it together though and the details still came of beautifully. Check it out!

The whole wedding party was amazing. I had to post this one. When I mentioned that they should feel free to "show their personalities", JP took it seriously. He would be the one hanging off the poll in the back...
