My older brother was married on September 10, 2011 in Niagra Falls, NY. I still cannot believe it despite the fact that he is my big brother! I feel so blessed to have been a part of this special and amazing day and I could not be happier for him and his beautiful bride.

Getting Ready for the Big Day
Art was even able to offer a few words of wisdom prior to the wedding as well as view the entire ceremony through Skype....technology is a wonderful thing!
Although we missed having you there in person, we know that you are always with us in heart and spirit
The Wedding - September 10, 2011
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails,”
1Corinthians 13:4-8
May the journey of the rest of your lives together be all that you have dreamed of....
Two Families Become One
The Girls & The Guys
What an amazing group of people to spend this special time with
I could not be happier or more excited for you on this special day, Mike & Jen
Here's to your special day and to many years of happiness together...may the bonds of your love for one another remain strong through all that life provides to you
Niagra Falls - September 11, 2011
Absolutely Breathtaking
The view of these Falls crashing down all around you is one of the most beautiful and amazing experiences that I have ever encountered
So breathtaking....that the backdrop ofthese photos does not even appear real
What an amazing way to spend the day
The Experience of Niagra Falls
Of course we had to go on a few adventures while we were there! Over the past year, I have learned that life is truly about living each day to the fullest, experiencing everything that you can, and enjoying the time that you are provided with loved ones
Cave of the Winds ~ The Hurricane Deck
This tour takes you vua ekevator 175 feet deep into the Niagra Gorge. You then follow a series of wooden decks to the bottom of the Falls where you can view the waterfall from the bottom looking up. This series of decks then leads up to what is called "The Hurricane Deck" where you stand less than 20 feet from the bridal veil waterfalls and you are doused with water and wind.
Yes! We were daring enough to go under the waterfall and take in the entire experience!
Before & After
We were only a "little" wet
The Maid of the Mist
The second most beautiful experience while in Niagra Falls
This boat tour allows you to drive right into the heart of the Falls where you become completely surrounded by water crashing down around you. This view of natures landscapes was truly one of the most stunning things that I have ever seen.
Mike - You will always be my big brother and you have always been there whenever I needed you. I love you despite all of our sibling rivalries while we were growing up and I cannot imagine life without. I am the luckiest little sister in the world.
Jen - I am so greatful that you have become a part of our family and you truly are my sister, not just by marriage but by friendship.
I wish you both love and happiness in everything that you do. My hope for you is that you will love one another and make sure that you tell eachother every day, do not ever take eachother for granted, embrace one anothers quirks, and learn to smile, laugh, and lean on one another through whatever joys and trials this life may bring.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this special moment in time as I will never forget it!
I love you both always & forever!
