Lani and Freddy

My bride, Lani

Labor Day Weekend, 2010.
Have you ever met someone that was a total inspiration to you?  That was my bride, Solania.
Solania, or Lani as she is affectionately called, is a very special woman.
I first met her at her mom’s house.  Her mother, Sonia, wanted to help make planning the wedding easier for Lani since she was working a full-time job and raising 2 beautiful little girls.  Sonia contacted me.  At first, Lani didn’t think she needed the help, but acquiesced to her mother’s offer of having me help plan her big day.
Lani, and Freddy (her fiance), were so much fun to work with!  Lani is a stunningly beautiful young woman, with simple, yet elegant, tastes.
Lani’s gown was simply elegant, to match her personality.  She had to have been one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen!  Freddy looked dashing in his tux!  Definitely a very handsome man!

Lani & Freddy - a handsome couple indeed

There were two very touching moments during their ceremony.  The first was when they presented their two daughters with lockets, confirming their commitment to their children that they would continue to raise them as beautiful, respectful young women and continue to be a loving family.
The second touching moment was when their 2 year old daughter ran up to Freddy while Lani and Freddy were taking their vows as husband and wife.  Freddy took his vows holding Serenity in his arms.  It couldn’t have been a more perfect picture!
Lani’s vision for her wedding was a simple black/red/white color scheme.  They delighted their guests with tons of delicious foods and a wonderful dessert and candy bar.
I want to thank them, and Lani’s mother, Sonia, for allowing me to be a part of their special day!

I cried when I saw this! I could not believe it. When I saw this page, it had to be the most wonderful and meaningful gift to a mother. You were such a giving person to us and yet still are. You’re truly like the wedding planner that keeps on giving. A wedding planner through the whole process and yet a true friend for life. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. It was the best decision that I have ever made! LOVE YOU, GIRL.
