Kelli + Javony: Old Sugar Mill Wedding, Clarksburg, CA

On June 26th 2010, Kelli was getting ready to attend her friend (and fellow bridesmaid) Sherry’s ‘Sex and the City’ themed birthday party. Sherry’s boyfriend Matt also invited a few of his friends to join the party to make it a classy New York style party complete with hot outfits, drinks, and a fun celebration. Among Matt’s friends in attendance…was Javony. As soon as their eyes met, from what I hear, they were inseparable for the rest of the evening. Or as Carrie might have put it, “It wasn’t logic, it was love.” 

Two days later they met at Beach Hut Deli for lunch because Javony, who is in the Air Force, was leaving on a mission that night and would be gone for a couple of weeks. They promised to stay in touch and could not wait to see each other when he returned. After a year and a half of dating, the couple went to Costa Rica for a vacation where Javony popped the question to Kelli while overlooking the estate they were staying at. 

Kelli is an absolute gorgeous person inside and out. She often runs in races and triathlons and told me Javony is her biggest fan. He may look like a big tough guy on the outside, but on the inside he is a big teddy bear. Happy tears, laughter, and love made this wedding nothing short of a perfect day.

The bridesmaids all had matching black robes…

Javony was in the room right next to Kelli during the getting ready…

They opted to not do a first look, but since their rooms were right next to each other, we came up with something else 🙂

Some final touches…

 Kelli, you’re gorgeous.

Kelli and Javony are leaving this week to the Florida Keys for their honeymoon. They may need to postpone because of Hurricane Issac but I’m crossing my fingers for the storm to pass with minimal damage. 
Have a great time you guys! I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

Thanks to all these lovely folks, this day happened:

Venue: Old Sugar Mill

Cake: Icing on the Cupcakes
