    Flowers: Family friend<br />

<strong>How did you two meet?</strong><br />
We met 10 years ago in Juneau, Alaska while doing a year of volunteer work with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.  We were placed in a house with 8 people (all women and Joe!) and lived there for one year&#8230;we have been together ever since.<br />

<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4813045871_9d0d1ac70b_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>  and the inspiration behind your groom cake?</strong><br />
Joe will begin a neurosurgery residency in July, so I thought what would be more fitting for a groom&#8217;s cake than a brain with red velvet?  It was a surprise for him.<br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4813045925_fb2d38d30c_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4813046017_f3e2a3c350_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong> Megan &#8211; if you could live one moment over again from  your wedding day what would it be&#8230;..</strong><br />
 Standing with Joe looking into the courtyard filled with all of the people we love and who love us&#8230;it is a feeling I will never forget.<br />

<strong> Joe &#8211;  if you could live one moment over again from  your wedding day what would it be&#8230;..</strong><br />
    Saying my vows to Megan was one of the highlights of my life.  For me, marriage is about the vows.<br />

<strong>One word to describe the married life?</strong><br />
Limbo&#8230;Joe and I have been living apart since the wedding!  He is in California in our new home, and I am finishing my doctoral work in MA.  Two more weeks to go!<br />

<strong>How did you two meet? </strong> Unofficially our eyes locked in library while studying for finals in law school, but we didn&#8217;t meet officially meet until the Fall Semester End of Finals Party .  Christina hugged and tackled a mutual friend to the ground in front of John.  John just had to meet the crazy, little girl in the vintage leather furry coat.<br />

<strong>What is the story of the proposal?  </strong><br />
We bought a new house in late December that didn&#8217;t come with grass in the backyard.  So a couple days after New Years, John laid sod in our backyard.  It was the night of the Alabama bowl game, and we were having cocktails and grilling out in our new backyard.  John kept trying to get me to put on this Alabama baseball hat that was sitting on the table.  Finally when I picked it up, the ring was underneath and he dropped to one knee in our new grass to propose.<br />

<strong>Christina &#8211; if you could live one moment over again from  your wedding day what would it be&#8230;..</strong><br />
I can&#8217;t pick just one moment, because the entire day was one on-going moment &#8211; from waking up with my girls, crying with mom seeing my grandmother&#8217;s wedding dress so beautifully used to wrap my bouquet, listening to everyone laughing at us and laughing at ourselves during our ceremony &#8220;mess-ups&#8221;, dancing with my dad to the Beatles, our private 3 course dinner for two in the Lake House&#8217;s kitchen, singing along to &#8220;Sweet Home Alabama&#8221; and some Better Than Ezra song at the top of our lungs while dancing with our friends and family, to ending the night having cocktails till 4:00 a.m. with amazing family and friends.<br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4778199228_072614a1ab_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>John &#8211; if you could live one moment over again from your wedding day what would it be&#8230;</strong><br />
When we arrived at the lakefront for pics after the ceremony we found ourselves waiting for our apparently lost wedding party. We sat for several minutes before suggesting to each other to call the best man, maid of honor, etc. Great idea had the Best Man and Maid of Honor not had both of our cell phones! After several failed attempts with the driver and his phone we located our lost party who were patiently waiting for us several blocks over, but now en route. With champagne and flute&#8217;s in hand, Christina and I walked the lakefront finding a secluded bench near the oaks that overlooked the water. We sat down and toasted our perfect day, memories to come, and each other &#8230;.. coolest 20 minutes of the day!<br />

<strong>One word to describe the married life?</strong>  Its all the good stuff and then some&#8230;</p>

<strong>How did you two meet? </strong>We were both doing Teach for America in Philadelphia so we were always together for training and grad school. Those turned into lesson planning dates at starbucks and the rest is history.<br />

 <strong>What is the story of the proposal?</strong> Margo- I was basically on my deathbed of sickness with the flu and pink eye (I thought only 2nd graders got pink eye!) and James was begging me to go for a walk down to city park.  I hadn&#8217;t showered in a couple days and shouldn&#8217;t have been seen in public, but I decided to get some fresh air. RIght after we got into the entry of the park, he just got down on one knee and asked.  I said, &#8220;Like this?!&#8221;  He replied with, &#8220;Yeah, in sickness and in health, right?&#8221;  It was great.<br />

<strong>margo &#8211; if you could live one moment over again from  your wedding day what would it be&#8230;.</strong> Riding the yellow school bus back to the hotel at the end of the evening- It was a HILARIOUS trip- the bus was PACKED with crazy relatives and friends from different life phases who all came together and started singing random hits from the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s.  It was truly a glorious moment.<br />

<strong>you picked an amazing venue! an amusement park!! wow! how did you come to this decision?<br />
</strong>Since almost the entire guest was coming in from out of town, the most important thing for us was that they have a really good time.   After meeting with Cathy (who is amazing) at City Park, we knew the Carousel would make for a unique and whimsical evening.  It was perfect!<br />

<p><strong>where are you on your honeymoon?</strong><br />
We are going to Tulum, Mexico to soak up some sun (its apparently not hot enough in new orleans), good food, mexican culture, and relaxation time. No computers or blackberry- yay!</p>
<p><strong>One word to describe the married life?</strong><br />
Relaxing</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>so i love this photo session&#8230;  Brittany and Sean were so much fun to hang with! When we ended in Jackson Square the sun was just perfect. I&#8217;m filled with photo love over the last set we did in front of the cathedral through the flowers&#8230;. it was a photo dream come true.  this shoot was also amazing b/c this couple let us go in their house and use their balcony. people in new orleans are so nice sometimes <img src='http://erayphoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   here we go! meet Sean and Brittany.</em></p>
<p><strong>Brittany &#8211; one word to describe Sean</strong> &#8211; Crazy, but in a good way of course! You never know what he is going to do next.<br />
<strong>Sean &#8211; one word to describe Brittany</strong> &#8211; amazing!!!<br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4689297713_f8b11af43a_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4059/4689297757_c423d7a588_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>How did you two meet?</strong> I knew Sean&#8217;s cousin, Scott, for about a year or two before Sean started hanging out with our group of friends and over the years he became one of my closet guy friends.  One summer afternoon at a Zephyr&#8217;s game, Scott and his girlfriend at the time convinced Sean to make a move and tell me he liked me. Later that night we all headed to the bowling alley, Sean tricked me into going by the lockers, kissed me and the rest is history. Here we are almost seven years later&#8230;<br />

<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4689297855_650189b83e_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>Do you have a favorite engagement photo?</strong> Sean&#8217;s is the one in front of his car of course!  It is entirely too hard to pic just one but one of my favorites is the one of us sitting on the lawn with the cathedral in the background, im smiling in the camera and Sean is laughing <img src='http://erayphoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4689297893_7525da2f0b_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>can you tell us how you got engaged?</strong> To make a long story short, Sean and I were hanging out on Martin Luther King day because it was his last day before he went back to school in Lafayette. We went to the mall and ran a few errands for him and then we decided to go to the park right by his neighborhood. It was so pretty outside that we just went and tossed the football around to kill some time before he would have to get on the road. He was acting so strange. We were walking back to his car and he did a very awkward combination of hugging me and getting down on one knee, it looked like he was hugging my knees haha. He then said a lot of super sweet things, none of which I remember, and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! It was incredibly perfect and to top it off, the center diamond in my ring was my Grandma&#8217;s from her wedding ring in a setting Sean picked out himself. He had gone behind my back, spoken to my Mom and my Dad, and called my Grandma in South Carolina to see if she could bring the diamond when she surprised me for my graduation just a month before <img src='http://erayphoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/4689297993_00edc358d3_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>Why are you two so awesome?</strong> because we don&#8217;t complete each other&#8230;we complement each other! we definitely balance each other out.<br />
<img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4689298043_c30b239640_b.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>If your love was a song&#8230;&#8230;</strong><br />
Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat &#8230; it was our original first dance choice  up until a week or two before the wedding but we decided to go with something more upbeat!</p>
