Honestly, I can’t believe this wedding has come and gone. We laughed, we cried, we swam in the pool. Not a bad day right?

My great friend Joanne, who I met in 2005 when we were both working in Calgary, married her best friend Mark in Cuba this past Friday. What a cheesy line right?! But it’s soooo true…could they BE more in love? Like Joanne said in her reception speech “All you other women who think you’re the luckiest woman in the world are all wrong; I am”.  Sniff sniff. Thirty three of Mark and Joanne’s close friends and family made the trip to Cuba and man what a week. Plus, Joanne in her foolishness, asked me to stand for her. I was the worst bridesmaid ever as I carried my camera instead of flowers and kept jumping in front of the couple to take pictures.  Multi-tasking at its best I tell you! What a time.

Joanne is such a hard worker, dedicated to helping children, and will make a fantastic mother one day in the very near future I’m betting! I felt special standing next to such a wonderful woman. And Mark isn’t bad either

P.S. there are a few more photos to come tomorrow so check back

Seeing her Dad before he walked her down the aisle…

Being serenaded, lovely!

First kiss as a wifey! I didn’t take a ton of ceremony photos as I was trying to stay out of the way…a little

Mark’s niece, Elle, raises the bar for cuteness!

I had to post this shot from the cocktail hour because not only is Elle super adorable, but because Mark (not the groom) is getting Geoff, a groomsman, to smell something in the background…hilarious!

Joanne and her mom…

Finally some alone time! Alone if you don’t count me and my camera

My fave shot of Joanne! So soft and pretty…

Between the cocktail hour and reception we all hit the pool!  Here’s a snap of Joanne and I acting cool…
