We’ve been warned..this is going to be a BIG Italian Wedding! lol I can’t wait, it’s going to be so much fun! We had a great night out with these two even though everywhere we wanted to go to shoot was either gone or fenced off…we still found some cool spots anyways. Sylvia I am glad you spotted the bull before one of us climbed the fence..haha NOW that would have been errr..interesting!
Enjoy your sneak peek!
When’s the big day?
April 30, 2011
How did you meet?
At an outdoor grad party around a campfire! A party that neither of us were the graduates, that was over 7 years ago.
How did he/she propose?
In our kitchen after I (Sylvia) brought Derek home a blizzard!
Apparently that is all I needed to do! Apparently Derek was planning on proposing in Vancouver the next weekend but didn’t want to wait!
Favorite thing about each other?
he says: She is the most caring person I have ever met, I know that I will be well taken care of for the rest of my life. I don’t know what I would do without her!
she says: That Derek really doesn’t care about what anyone else thinks. He wears, does, acts, and speaks however he wants. Sometimes to a fault but I think it is refreshing to have that much confidence in yourself and your decisions.
Your idea of a perfect date?
he says: Cooking dinner at home together, rent a movie, and play Wii
she says: All the same but I love to top it off with a treat from the Marble Slab creamery!
Kisses, hugs or snuggles?
he says: All 3 at the same time!
she says: snuggles haha.
What’s your favorite thing to do together?
I enjoy doing pretty much everything with her! However we do like to shop and watch Shark Week!
Favorite Starbucks drink?
he says: Not a big Starbucks kinda guy…but she did get me hooked on the Tazo Chai Latte.
she says: Tazo Chai
Your favorite hangout?
The man cave!
aka our basement. Which sounds kinda weird when you say that outloud… but it is mostly cause that is where all our gadgets live.
One place in the world you must go see?
he says: Italy with Sylvia’s family
she says: San Lorenzo, Italy
What are you looking forward to the most on your wedding day?
he says: Seeing her in her dress walking down the aisle towards me, and having a great evening with TONS of family and friends!
she says: To see family and friends under one roof dancing the night away, becoming an offical Welsh, and of course enjoying fine Italian cuisine!






















I love this..total candid moment!
