I walked into the most calm loveliness that I had seen all year. Everyone was smiling, laughing and enjoying themselves. Everyone. One beautiful face after another.

I met Emily & Austin for the first time that day at the Carnley House in Georgetown, until then we had only spoke via telephone and Skype as they were planning remotely from Virginia. Emily & Austin found me through Mary’s recommendation.  And since we just adore Mary and her family, it should come as no surprise that we just adored this whole crew as well.

I loved the ladies.

I’m sure Austin is wondering why he is holding the flowers.
