Amy and Herbert's Wedding

The BIG day

2008-05-05T13:19:00.001-07:00

We are finally married and what a fantastic wedding day we had. Families and friends had traveled from far and wide to celebrate with us and after quite a bit of rain early in the day, the sun and beautiful skies came out just in time for our wedding. Below are a few impressions of the day.
