The day we met them, we were so excited that they booked us because we just KNEW their wedding would be fun. Andrew and I were sitting at Starbucks and up walks Yazmin and Skyler. The first thing I noticed about Yazmin was her HUGE smile... and red hair... REALLY red hair. She seemed antsy and excited to be discussing her wedding, bouncing from one topic to the next... and she seemed SO in love with Skyler. She kept looking at him and flirting with him in front of us. We loved watching her. Skyler, on the other hand was very quiet and calm. He said very little and was hidden behind a sharp pair of glasses. "What an odd couple!" we thought... but we loved them immediately. We were thrilled to find out that both Yazmin and Skyler were dancers... Skyler is a break-dancer to be exact... and upon our first impression, he did not seem to fit that mold! As we continued to talk, Skyler came out of his shell more and more and really fascinated us with how funny he was! Andrew and I are both pretty sarcastic people, and my humor is very dry so I always enjoy when I meet another dry-humored human. :) While we are on the topic of Skyler, can I explain just how he looks at Yazmin? (Sigh)
I noticed it the first night we met them. He absolutely adores her. Every time Yazmin would talk, he would just stare at her with these soft loving eyes, and this soft smile on his face. Almost like everything she said was pure bliss to his ears and she was the only person in the room and nothing else mattered... and he looked at her this way even when she was talking about what kind of Starbucks drink to order!! Now that is love!
So finally their wedding day rolls around. The calmest wedding day we have ever seen. Everyone is so chill, just walking around, having drinks and playing pool, making jokes, acting as if its just a normal day hanging out with all of their friends (BTW, they had just about the coolest Bridal Party we have ever met!).
Skyler even had time for a nice haircut... and what a sight! Two fully-clothed men in the shower working on their hair.
The wedding was perfect. Soft music. A teary-eyed bride. An adoring groom. Lots of excited family members. And finally, Mr. & Mrs. Skyler Shumway. After the ceremony, Skyler and Yazmin retreated to a quiet room to have a few minutes alone as a new husband and wife. We loved this idea... it gave them just a few precious minutes to leave the hustle and bustle of the wedding day and just enjoy eachother.
I must say Emily and Andrew the picture are Fantastic.
