Warmest Wedding Ever!

Although set in the coldest part of the US at the coldest part of the year, this wedding is truly one of the most heart warming event we've ever been a part of.
This goes to show you just what big miracles could happen through organ donation.

Here's a news coverage of the event.


A second segment which ran on the following day.


Raw footage if you're interested. Link.

Here are a few out of our cameras :)

To Samantha...Thank you...ALWAYS.

Our first wedding of the year is perhaps the most emotional wedding we have ever been a part of. Through the miracle of organ donor program, Lindsey walked down the aisle with her father in one arm, her donor's father in the other and some tissue in her hand. While Lindsey and her parent stood at the altar, they took some time to thank the one person that made this day possible and the one person that could not be there for that special day. Samantha.




The last frame of the slideshow reads:

To Samantha,
Because of you, I live on,
Because of choosing life,
YOU will live on.
Forever... in me.
Thank you ALWAYS.

Organizations such as Life Gift allows for second chances. Contact your local organ donor organization to see what you could do. Because the next person you save, could be someone in your family.

The Gift of Life

Well, about this time, Mike and Cody should be freezing their butts off. But for a good reason. This weekend is the long awaited wedding featured on the Tyra Banks show. Lindsey, a recipent of the organ donor program, is going to walk down the aisle, not only with her parents, but her donor parents as well.

Take a look at this video for the amazing story.


I'll post some images as the become available.

Beautiful wedding set in the most beautiful location. Hawaii. Timing couldn't be any better, because the small ceremony ended just in time for the sunset. Here are a couple from that day.

Burning in the New Year!

What is it that will dictate a good New Year celebration?

E. All of the above.

Check out the stupid fun caught on video.

Auctioned Off!!!

Mike Fulton of TriCoast was recently auctioned off for charity for the Digital Wedding Forum. One of the winning bids came from our friend from across the big pond, Nikki McLeod. Little did she know, she got Cody Clinton and me as well. So, after about 45 mins of inquisition regarding bagpipes, kilts, and Ole Nessy, Nikki got her 15 mins worth of mentoring session. Cody even let Nikki take explicit photos of him as well.





There were also four 30min mentoring sessions earlier in the week that went on as well. But we weren't bribed to talk about it.
