I am excited to post some portraits of my cousin, Erin, and her husband, Dennis. Erin & I have known each other just about all of our lives… We were born only 28 days apart and spent much of our childhood together. Here’s proof…. 😉
Erin & I had lost touch a bit over the years and so I was excited when I was able to catch up with her again recently. She told me how happy she was and that she had finally found “the one”. She truly gushed about him and it was wonderful to see her so happy. I finally got to meet this man of hers just last week and could clearly see that the feeling was mutual between them.
Erin & Dennis eloped together on May 18th…. which I think is wonderfully romantic. Seeing them together is a reminder that sometimes you just know…. this is the person and this is the time.
Dennis left just yesterday to return to Afghanistan once again to serve and protect all of us. Words can’t express my gratitude. Even still, I just wanted to say again, “thank you, Dennis!”.
Though he could have quite easily intimidated me with his knowledge, bravery, life experiences and travel, Dennis was instead casual, humble, down to earth, and also very easy to talk to. I especially enjoyed sitting around the bonfire sipping beers with them both….
Erin & Dennis, I am amazed at your bravery, strength and love for one another. I wish you love and laughter in your marriage forever! Congrats again!!
I love the lens flair/ orb in the above photo. Some people believe that light like this in a photograph is actually the light of a spirit. That Erin is wearing her mom’s engagement ring (where the light is!), I can’t help but think of my Aunt Denise… I am certain that she would be very proud to see Erin so happy.
