Mrs. Ostrich, San Francisco/Hawaii Age and Occupation: 30, Fashion Buyer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 38, Copywriter Engagement Date: October 4, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Sweet ceremony by the sea and sunset celebration on the North Shore of Hawaii About Me: Born in the city of angels and residing in the city by the bay, I’m a fearless fashion buyer by day, a passionate blog author by night and a dreamy bride-to-be in between. I thank my lucky stars to live in such a stunning city that gives me gifts like organic honey lavender ice cream, movie nights in the park, tucked away beaches, legendary record stores, '80s dance parties, awesome sports teams, stellar flea markets, and vintage bookshops. Oh, and I love to dance! We always find every excuse to escape to the beach, and decided a little seaside wedding in Hawaii is our idea of bliss. Full of our favorite people, music, food and sparkly lights, this is one sunset celebration we will always remember.
About Mrs. Ostrich

Just Like Heaven: Press Play

February 24th, 2012 @ 9:42 am by Mrs. Ostrich

“Show me how you do that trick”
“The one that makes me scream” she said
“The one that makes me laugh” she said
And threw her arms around my neck
“Show me how you do it”
“And I promise you I promise”
“That I’ll run away with you”
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
…Just like heaven.

- The Cure

Just Like Heaven: Press Play :  wedding hawaii pictures pro pics recap Sylvia Rob Pro Wedding Photos 061

photography by Max Wanger Photography

Heaven on Earth.

It’s that cherished place where our eyes are shining, faces beaming, loved ones cheer and everything looks—and feels—so breathtaking.

Our hearts are the fullest of the full, we’re floating in bliss and we wish and hope and pray to stay in this perfect place and call it home.

And so we tuck this memory safely in our hearts, reliving its sparkling moments whenever we can.

We all have our own, all different, but that feeling? Oh bees, that’s what connects us together…

It’s our dreamy, unforgettable place.

And today, I (finally!!!) will share with you mine.

It’s a place where the breeze is warm and the air smells sweet.

The sun sets in a lavender sky…and I can hear the waves break in my sleep.

No boots allowed! Only sandals, flip flops and bare feet.

It’s filled to the brim with the faces that we love.

The littlests sprinkle us with blooms and smiles…

While I follow them blissfully along the sea…

Until…at last…my other half of my heart finds me.

We cheer {like crazy people!}

Consider this the beginning of my recaps. And, just like that, BOOM! - photo explosion. Ahh, I couldn’t help myself with these photos, all so random, but each makes my heart soar and twirl and cartwheel. And they represent some of the most fantastic pieces of that AWESOME day. That’s what recaps are, right?

And since a really awesome picture is worth a million words, we’re going to let Max’s sublime photos take the wheel for this wild recap ride. And I’ll pepper them with our silly, heart-string pulling and pinch-me-i’m-dreaming thoughts in between. :)

Oh! Maybe our super duper video by Love Sick Weddings could tell part of the story too?

So get ready, kids. For a bucketful of random pictures, wedding diary confessions and whimsical adventures….in paradise.

Let the Ostrich Recaps Begin.
