The Wedding of Brian and Briana LemosMarch 21, 2009
I took a week to let the fairy dust settle after my daughter's wedding last weekend. What a perfect day it was! There wasn't a glitch in the hitch. God was faithful down to the most minute detail! The newlyweds headed into Northern California for their honeymoon, and I was left to sort through the myriad of maternal emotions.
My daughter is 21 and was married on the 21st.I remember well the overpowering feelings I experienced when I held Briana for the first time. All the excitement and preparation building to that moment could not possibly compare to the rush of love and the weight of responsibility that I felt. Likewise, after living with Briana for over 21 years, letting go also released a complexity of emotions, including the need to rearrange my nest.
Featured here are preliminary photos taken by Alysia Smith of Rev411 Photography. For protection, her watermark is on each of the photos. I am quite pleased and anxious to see the remainder of her work.

Notice my youngest son, Brock (in the white shirt), at the forefront of the action.

I've been there, too! It really is emotional and beautiful and sad and exciting, all at the same time. Your daughter looks beautiful! I'm so glad the day was perfect. ::Jill

Someday...I'll likely experience a day like that with our Chelsea.

Here's wishing the newly weds a very happy married life. The Photographs on your blog are absolutely divine. Though what caught my attention was this beautiful engagement ring, very similar to what I had purchased from angara.com , an online jewelry portal
