Oh my stars. Butterflies are swarming in my tummy. The excitement for these two little love birds is incalculable. I've known Abby since she was a lil' tike. No joke. One of my oldest  family friends.  To see her grown and loved by a good, good man who is humble, tender, loyal, passionate and sincere--i just want to cry and thank Jesus for being so so very good.

So worth the miseery!! San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0086San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0080 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0081 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0082 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0083 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0084San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0088 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0089 San-Diego-Wedding-Photography-Green-Gables-Estate-Groomsmen_BAER_0090okay, so it was REALLY really cold.
