It was a weird feeling... happy, sad, excited... I wasn't sure how to feel.
When a sibling that you've shared a room with, giggled in the dark with, gotten in trouble with (or avoided trouble with!), spent your entire childhood with... gets married... you feel like a chapter of your lives together has come to an end. Not to say that it didn't happen 10 years ago when we each went our separate ways, moving out to go to school, but for some reason that didn't feel the same as this moment. Any other wedding I take pictures at, I cry my eyes out when the siblings say their speeches but somehow I contained myself for Anette's. But, I did find myself smiling non-stop throughout the day. Maybe
because I'm just so happy that my one and only sister has found the man that makes her smile, not cry... the man that shows he cares, he doesn't hide it... the man that loves his family just as much as she does. I was honoured to be a part of her wedding day and still capture a few special moments (some of these photos I edited were taken by our mother from the 'bleacher seats'... great work ma!).
Thank you Anette... I love you so very much ♥
Not only was I bridesmaid/photographer... I was also a hairstylist for the day!
The only girls available to help Anette with her dress... step-daughter Reilley and niece Zoey
Father of the bride
Zoey deemed Anette the 'Princess' and Mark the 'Prince'
The following images will take you to my flickr site where you can see MORE photos :)

I just found this, and it made me cry. At work, yup I'm a HUGE sap. I love you too, you are the best sister!
