Photo-Palooza Day 2 ... (Angels among us)

Todd and Michelle were planning on an early morning wedding at the beach. They were going with a Hawaiian theme, and wanting to capture the sunrise over the water. They were planning on a small intimate ceremony with the serenity of a peaceful morning to complete their wedding bliss. So you can imagine my surprise when I talked to Michelle 4 days before the wedding and found out things had changed. The wedding was moved to a more typical time (1:00pm) but a not so typical place (a pavilion). I didn’t quite understand, but little did I know it was the absolute best pavilion in the world. No it wasn’t in the middle of a beautiful park somewhere. It wasn’t decorated like something out of a fairytale. You see this pavilion was next to a medical facility where Michelle’s daughter is a patient. Michelle’s daughter had some serious health issues and could not partake in the beach wedding. So, Michelle put her dream of a beach wedding in the back seat and took it to her daughter. They were able to roll her daughters bed out to the pavilion so she could be a part of her mom’s special day.

It often amazes me what lengths a mother will go to for her child. A mother would spend her last dime to help her children. A mother would give up things for herself to lay a “foundation” for her child or child’s child to be. Not because she has to, not because it’s her duty for giving birth, but because she loves. She loves with a love that is indescribable, a love that could never be replaced. A mothers love is truly a God send and we are all blessed from the day we are born to have a mother of our very own.

There really are “Angels among us” and they go by the name of Mom………


After the ceremony we did visit the beach for a few photos…
