What A Surprise!

I had the pleasure of photographing Monika and Rob and their four boys last fall. Julie Torok, sister of Monika, married to Chris Lang were also part of the session with their son and daughter.

When Monika contacted me to do a short coverage of a wedding, I assumed it was for a friend. As my husband says, "One should never assume!" It was the happiest surprise when I discovered the bride and groom were Monika and Rob. After being together for sixteen years they decided to get married. Immediate family gathered at Dows Lake and then went on to Giovanis where the service was held. The lighting of the unity candle included Monika, Rob and each of the boys. It was a unity "flame" that was symbolic of this great family.

The group then had a celebratory meal at Giovanis - and what a meal it was! Later that evening 150 guests joined the couple to celebrate what they thought was Monika and Rob's 40th birthdays. I wish I could have seen the look on their faces as their wedding announcement was made.

My sincerest congratulations and I thank you for being part of such a heartfelt occasion.
