Beautiful Words
10 Beautiful Words about Love that don't Exist in English...
1. Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.
2. Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. This is a complex concept. It draws on principles of predetermination in Chinese culture, which dictate relationships, encounters and affinities, mostly among lovers and friends.
3. Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone’s hair.
4. Retrouvailles (French): The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
5. Ilunga (Bantu): A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time; tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.
6. La Douleur Exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.
7. Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love.
8. Ya’aburnee(Arabic): “You bury me.” It’s a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person, because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
9. Forelsket: (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.
10. Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost. Another linguist describes it as a “vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist.”

Engagement Love - Regina & Undra!
When I saw these pictures from Regina and Undra's engagement session, I was too giddy! The ever-talented Catherine of My Life Photography captured this couple's love for one another and their obvious sense of style. I can't wait for their wedding later on this year!
Engagement Love - Sarah & Tommy!
I'm a little obsessed with engagement pictures. I'm a little obsessed with wedding pictures, period. Sarah and Tommy have been so much fun to work with and I seriously can't wait for their wedding next year.
I've been a major fan of Project Duo for a while and I have ZERO idea why we've never worked together. When I saw these photos, I was just so happy!!! I love how they captured the sweetness in Sarah's eyes and the love that she and Tommy share.
Thanks so much Zahra & Courtney!!

Fresh Fridays - Happiest Edition!
Also, Kid President has been wreaking havoc on this super mushy heart of mine. He's 9 and says just the right things...at the right time. I previously posted his Pep Talk and if you aren't one of the over 17,000,000 people who have seen it, take a quick moment and watch it. It's relevant for anyone...at anytime. Have a happy Friday!

Engagement Love - Leslie & Jason!
I'm loving these shots from Leslie and Jason's engagement shoot with Mai and Bri Photography . Leslie informed me that these were taken where the next "Hunger Games" movie is being filmed! How amazing is her red hair?! I'm dying! I can't wait for their wedding next month!
{umm...Jason MADE this ring box. A regular ring box just wouldn't do. I LOVE hearing all the little details behind engagements}
{Oh yeah, they make their own beer which they'll be serving at the wedding!}

Yentl & Jimmy!
You just gasped, right?! I know I did the first time I saw these pictures of Yentl. The wind was blowing perfectly which created the perfect moment for Yentl's inner "Top Model" to come out and she went to WERK {"werk" is better than "work" in this case}!
Yentl & Jimmy were married at the beautiful Georgian Terrace in front of their closest family and friends. The love that filled the day was memorable and something you don't see every day. {I was a mess during Yentl's pictures with her brother and sister} Congratulations you two!
{Yentl's mother gave her a blessing before the ceremony}
{This is right after they said "I Do"! I love how happy she is!}
Thank you to Dana Mixer Photography for the beautiful photos of this gorgeous couple!
Monday
Megan & Robert!
Robert and Megan were married at Anoush in Los Angeles. Ok, just try to wrap your head around 17 bridesmaids and 17 groomsmen, 8 groom ushers, 2 flower girls and 400 guests.
This couple holds a very very special place in my heart. Not only have I known Robert since I was 7 years old, he's also one of my closest friends in the whole world. His family is my family. Luckily, Megan is just as amazing and so if her family. I already had adoption papers drawn up for her parents to adopt me the way Robert's family has. {That's a figure of speech. I'm not really adopted}
This wedding was put together with love. The details of this wedding are amazing. Her mother made all of the fascinators that all 17 bridesmaids wore. Her aunts and a few bridesmaids made the cake and other desserts. Wait until you see the candy bar....her aunts were responsible for that masterpiece as well. Oh wait, have you seen Megan's dress?! So get this, her mother sewed each of the crystals onto her dress by hand but when they saw the dress in the light, they were the wrong color so her mom took them ALL off and started over. Talk about love.
Thank you so much to Wedding64 for these absolutely gorgeous pictures. I'm not good at editing my selections down so grab some coffee, a warm blanket and get ready to live the magic of Robert and Megan's beautiful wedding. {and no, they're not models...they just totally should be!}
{Robert got all of the groomsmen cufflinks that were personal to each groomsman. Robert had a guitar since he's a musician}
{Did I tell you guys about how they made movie posters of their favorite love stories and posed as the characters? De-Tails!}
{seating cards...SO orginal!}
{They used wedding ceremony traditions from 8 different cultures for their ceremony}
{The band played music from "The Princess Bride" as the bridal party walked down the aisle}
{Megan's mom had the officiant surprise the couple by starting the ceremony off with the ceremony from "The Princess Bride". You know, "Wuv. True wuv...it's what brings us togeva today..."}
{Oh, hiiiiiiii! Robert and Megan did the tango for their first dance! It's by far, the sexiest first dance I've ever seen.}
{Then Megan and her bridesmaids, mom and aunts followed the sexiest first dance with an even sexier surprise hula for the groom}
{This is one of my favorite shots from the wedding. Robert dropped some cake on Megan's chest and well...bent down and ate it...off of her chest!}
Congratulations to Robert and Megan. I love you guys so much!
