Mary and Josh's Gothic Wedding

Can you tell these two have known each other since 10th grade? That's seventeen years.

So, as you can imagine we are all incredibly happy when the two of them finally tied the knot. Some of us flat out forgot that they weren't already married!

T and I took turns with the camera capturing the images of the splendid day. Every wedding is unique and each is beautiful in its own way. I feel like its been ages since I've gone to a gothic one (we are, after all, getting older) so what a splendid surprise it was to see Mary and Josh embrace their younger days with their ceremony at the Umlauf Sculpture Gardens in Austin, TX.

And a big hug...


From many people...


Mary and Josh picked an Indian restaurant to cater the food. That was just divine!

Happily ever after...if they've been together for 17 years already, I think they're probably going to stay together for a bit more longer.
