My beloved daughter Camille and her now husband Sean were married last weekend. Everything about the event was magical and celebratory. I am grateful to welcome my impressive and accomplished son-in-law into our family.
The floral headpiece by Heather Stoten Millinery HERE captured the essence of the event.
I proudly walked Camille down the aisle. She was a vision in her white silk wedding dress created by her friend Tess of 50 Dresses HERE. I’ve never seen her more radiant and happy.
My suit was created by the talented Denver designer Rachel Marie Hurst HERE and my headwear was by Heather Stoten Millinery HERE. It was important to us that everyone who took part in contributing to the wedding be friends or locally based, reflecting our value of recognizing the talent and skill which is before our very eyes.
We took pride in our self-expression, but underneath it all was love, intention, an appreciation for beauty in all of its forms, human connection and an honoring of a relationship of mutual adoration. It was grand, festive, and memorable and everything that Camille had hoped for. What could be better than that?
Camille’s friends surrounded her with love and spirited energy, which filled the spaces of the venue with warmth and good wishes.
We danced the night away in celebration of Camille and Sean, as they begin their new journey together. For me, dance has always been a metaphor for life, and we all joined together in this beautifully expressive form of living out loud with exuberance.
“May your lives together be filled with as much joy as is humanly possible.
May each day bring a sprinkling of wonder, along with health and abundance of every nature.
May you find comfort in each other’s arms in a world that offers splendor and at times confusion.
And most importantly, may your love grow as deep as Camille’s beautiful brown eyes and as dazzling as her smile, which mirrors Nelson’s in every way. Your father and I pass onto the two of you the legacy of magic.” ~Excerpt from my toast to Camille and Sean 5/2/15
Gorgeous wedding photos. Beautiful photos of Camille! You look radiant.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! She looked radiant, so did you. May they have many years of wedded bliss.
Judith: I’ve been waiting with somewhat bated breath for these photos, anticipating how gorgeous you and your daughter would look. Your toast, so eloquent — I’m sure your husband, and Camille’s father, was smiling down on the day. Thank you for sharing these with your blog community.

I started reading your blog a couple of years ago and it has been so lovely, fun, and thought provoking to follow it. Much happiness to you all. So much joy and beauty it simply had to spill over to us — thank you!
You both look so amazing! Well done!
Camille was certainly the very definition of a “glowing” bride in her custom wedding gown, dearest Judith…I can imagine how proud you are!! And you complimented her perfectly in your lovely mother-of-the-bride ensemble; I’m sure Camille was just as proud of you!! XO
