Linny & Gary Part 2 - Details, Guests & Fun 25.06.2009 | uncategorized

This is Steph, and my first blog post, fitting that it is my little sister! This is ther first of many posts from me to come. It was an amazing day, with good friends and family. We started out the day going to see our good friend and family stylist Leo at Style Lab, he worked his magic on Linny, Mom, and I. Thanks Leo you did an amazing job as always! We made our way back home to put the finishing touches on, and start family pictures. It was a small wedding and I was the only bridesmaid, but the day wouldn't have been the same without our cousins and honourary bridesmaids, Danni and Patti. We love you guys! I love the shots of my Dad and Linny. Mom and Dad worked so hard to make an already beautiful garden perfect for an early May wedding, check out the shots of the flowers. Linny and Gary had the wedding catered by the India Bistro on Davie Street, they were incredible! Our Dad having a sweet tooth insisted on dessert, and had his favourite cake created by his favourite caterer, Culinary Capers, this was an extrodinary cake to look at and eat, the best kind!
The brides room, well it is actually our second bedroom and Linnys old hangout until her and Gary got serious.

Steveston Wedding - Linny & Gary Part 1 24.06.2009 | Personal

Just my favourites of Linny and Gary. I will post some more images of the wedding and other guests in part two. This is the wedding of my sister in law so you will have to forgive me if this is a large post. The wedding was an intimate backyard affair and of course the weather didn't cooperate. Of course we still managed to get great pictures and have an amazing time. Gary and Linny you guys are the best, hope you love your photos. The love you showed each other on that day was an inspiration to all newly married couples.

Happy Father Day Dad 21.06.2009 | Personal

Well I'm a bit of a bad son. Worked a great wedding last night and didn't get to bed until real late. Skipped golf with Dad this morning but hopefully will make it up with a great dinner tonight. You know how everyone thinks they have the best Dad when there like 5 years old, well I did then and I still do. When I was a real little guy like all other kids I started playing soccer, it's usually the first sport kids get involved in. Well my Dad had played and excelled in almost every sport growing up except soccer. Of course a few years in there weren't enough coaches so who volunteers but my Dad. I remember him going to the library taking out a book about "How to Teach Soccer". He read about the "instep pass" and was teaching it the next week. How many parents would have done that? My Dad would have way rather taught me hockey, baseball, rugby, football, heck even karate. The funny thing was I played soccer for 5 more years and pretty much hated it, I just did it cause all my friends played. Let's just say soccer isn't the best sport for short guys who can't run. The only good thing was the oranges at halftime. When I started playing football it was like a light from the heavens shining down, here was a sport where I had to run exactly one yard and hit the guy in front of me as hard as possible, perfect.

As I grew up Dad was always quietly there supporting everything I did and times really haven't changed. We are currently renovating a house together on the US side of the okanogan valley. It is a 1910 farmhouse and a heck of a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time. So happy fathers day Dad. Heres to many more.

Some old pics of us growing up. Love the black and white of him and Denise as well as the old fathers day picture. Other than a little grey hair he pretty much looks the same now.
