A Wedding of the Century..make that Millenium

My cousin Amanda is all around amazing.
I have known this for a long time, but this past saturday just put the icing on the cake.  Those of you who know her, know what I'm talking about.  She has been ever so patiently waiting to get married for as long as I can remember my own name.  And by "ever so patiently", I mean she had it planned it by her 7th birthday, and just  need to insert a few key factors to bring it all together.  Insert Paul.  (that sounded dirty, but she'd like it that way so we'll roll with it)  I knew Paul when he was a friend's little brother's friend who was, hands down, better behaved then 100% of friend's little brother's other friends.  He lived around the corner from me, and when he showed up one day, with my cousin, at a family function - I think we both did a double take.

When people talk about soul mates, opposites attracting and all that other cliche shit about love - they were talking about Amanda and Paul.  If I had to sum up the relationship in movie and love song lyric quotes alone, they would be something along the lines of:
"You complete me...I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me...all you need is love...i wanna kiss you all ovah..."

At their wedding this past weekend, I was over the moon happy for her.  The wedding was everything I imagined it would be, after following her hilarious blog "A Cowley Soon-to-be" where she hilariously chronicled her life from fiance to Mrs.  I have to share some photo's here, because it truly took my breath away.  Every picture was like out of a magazine, and Paul and Amanda as the R Patz and K Stew of the photo shoot.  Don't believe me, see below:

See what I mean? Right out of a magazine!!
I am going to assume she is 98% of this herself, and the other 2% she was holding hands while it was done.  The night went off without a hitch - except of course for the part where they got hitched.  Everyone danced to the live Beatles cover band, and drink like fish out of water.
If you love reading hilarious blogs - check out "A Cowley Soon-to-be" She will make you pee your pants, especially if you're about to get married.
Amanda & Paul: I hope you guys keep making fun of each other for a million years, and I am so happy for the both of you that I could just fly out to Italy to tell you during your honeymoon.  Lifetime of happy, and a life time of Paul wondering which waitress will be the next contestant on "Are You Pregnant?" You give me hope for love, and your creativity gives me a legit reason for bringing two camera batteries to the wedding.

MUCH LOVE COUSINS xoxox <3
