big boy

No really, he is big boy and his mom is a champ! After about 3 days of labor and 24 hours of INTENSE labor, this beautiful 11 pound, 24 inch boy came into the world!

Congratulations to the Lewis Family!

Lovely couple.

Many of Paul and Brittany's friends couldn't be present at their reception, so they sent out 20 blank canvas banners to their friends and what they got in return were pieces of art that adorned the reception site.

I don't know about you, but I'm glad I wasn't a banner recipient. My banner would have stuck out like a sore thumb!

Brittany, her mom, and sister, tirelessly crafted enormous paper flowers for each table centerpiece. Please note the gorgeous burlap tablecloths that were also hand painted with individually unique details!

This ring was actually her mom's ring that was lost for 30 years and found the week before the couple got engaged. They found out later it was designed by a Danish designer, which has special significance because Paul is Danish.
