Pink Depression Glass

May 20, 2013 – 8:21 pm

It all started with a pink depression glass bowl I found at my parent’s house last year. Only one.

I cleaned it and lovingly put away. Not ready to deal with the fact that both Daddy and Janie were gone.

This past week I came across it again and the sorrow was replaced with happy memories.

Memories of excitement cause it was ‘Janie Slop’ dinner night. It was our favorite soup. Memories of four dirty, sweaty kids running with happiness to meet daddy’s car as he pulled in the dusty driveway after a long day at work.

That’s how my pink depression glass obsession started…

Ali & Ross | Oldest House and White Room, St. Augustine Wedding

May 13, 2013 – 9:50 am

After a few weeks of messages, emails and phone conversations, we decided to meet and the rest is, well, history.”

I love how she tells the story. Needless to say, their first date was a hit.

Ali and Ross were taking their usual evening walk along the boardwalk in Stuart, FL.

Ali was intently watching and did not realize Ross was already on one knee holding her dream ring.

Katie & Reed | Dorothy B. Oven Park Wedding

May 8, 2013 – 12:32 pm

Katie and her family moved to Arizona during her 8th grade year.

There she met Reed. At a school dance, a slow song came on. Katie looked over at Reed in his Detroit basketball jersey and asked, ” Would you like to dance?”

The answer was yes. The one thing Katie remembers from that dance was that Reed was hilarious.

They stayed in touch but when on their separate ways.

Years later, after they survived their Freshman year of college, they reconnected and where now officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

Two years later, on a trip to beautiful Sedona, Reed handed Katie a card. It read…
