Congratulations Kim and Julia

Today is a very special day.

Today is all about my best friend, Kim and her true love Julia.

Today they will commit their love to each other in a beautiful ceremony with friends and family.

Today is the beginning of their life together as one.

This event has been planned and scheduled and talked about for what seems like forever! In a good way, as everyone involved is so very excited for this day to finally be here!

I will stand with Kim, as her witness and Maid of Honor as she commits herself to love, honor and cherish Julia forever. Sweet Emily will be beautiful in her flower girl dress, and hopefully on her very best princess behavior! :)

Here is the card that I have created especially for Kim and Julia.

The ceremony is a beach theme, as both Kim and Julia love the beach and visit as often as they can every year. So, I went with a beach theme for my card as well. I chose this stamp especially for this card, as I wanted something a little less "traditional wedding". This House Mouse stamp is just so sweet, they look so in love and enjoying nothing more than each others company in the light of the moon on a warm sandy beach. This is what I hope for Kim and Julia's future. The background paper is a jumble of beachy words and the tan cardstock has a woodgrain effect, to give the idea of driftwood. I stitched the edges of the DP and the cardstock, and added the pearls and the flowers for dimension. I really wanted this card to be spectacular for them, and I sure hope that they like it.

Kim, I love you, my dear and I wish you nothing but the best for your years together with Julia. It gives me joy to see you so happy and I know that Julia will support you and be your rock in whatever you endeavor. The only advice I have for you, is to always be nice and remember that if you don't listen to anyone else, listen to Julia, she knows you best, loves you most and would never steer you wrong.

Congratulations to you both!
