Because they deserve to have a blog post! (And so do Mr. & Mrs. Rodriguez – coming soon.)

Due to my mystery health issue, I stepped out of weddings and out of business with my Kelsey. In doing so, we closed down the Studio K2 blog site and pointed that domain to Kelsey, who IS still doing weddings. That change means the Currins’ wedding blog post disappeared, so I decided last summer’s weddings needed to be shown again. Here is my side of the story (my view) from July 7, 2012. {Psssst: Here’s my view of their Rock the Dress session, too!}

In their own words -

How we met: (Prepare yourself for a not-so-romantic story) We met at a drinking establishment (I know, I know, but how often do those truly work out?!). I caught a glimpse of him from across the bar. His friend saw me looking at Jonathan and pointed me out to him, and we kept making eye contact. At the time, I was hanging out with a bunch of friends, many of them guys, so was certain he would not come over to my area to talk to me. So, I decided to order my next beverage near the area that he was standing. Sure enough, he came over and introduced himself to me (my diabolical plan worked!). We hit it off immediately, he got my number, and have not gone a day without talking since!

How he proposed: We planned a Eastern European Cruise with some friends last May. One of our ports was at the private island, Half Moon Cay. This was the most picturesque, idealistic island scenery you could imagine. White sands, bright turquoise water, and not a cloud in the sky. We got a cabana on the beach, relaxed, and swam in the ocean. Jonathan and his friend Josh disappeared for awhile, then appeared indicating that there was this beautiful trail that we had to walk down and take pictures of the beautiful scenery. We talked down the trail taking pictures along the way, when we came to this secluded lagoon with a deck protruding out into the water. The friend suggested that Jonathan and I walk to the end and they would get our picture. As I was admiring the scenery, he got done on his knees, and once I turned around he proposed! We were both tearing up with joy and embracing the entire day. This, was the first best day of my life (second only to the actual wedding day).

One piece of advice for couples: Kiss, hug, and say “I love you” every single day. I mean every single day! Since we reached that stage, we have not gone 1 day without saying and doing so, and never plan on it!

I was really happy with all my vendors! I honestly do not think I have any complaints. They were all truly wonderful. I would have to say, and not just because I am writing you, but I think it would be you wonderful ladies who went above and beyond my expectations. I am most thankful for you! If I were to give another shout out, I would like to thank Shelby Pywell at Springs Orleans for making our reception spectacular and always available to address any questions or concerns.

I just love you two and am so thankful to have met you!
