Aissa + Cruz Wedding by Ryan Valderama

when a girl turns into a young lady, it calls for a celebration.

let the youth freely set their ambitions and ideals in life but guide them to be in one's rightful path.

here are some of Mica Lauren's portraits captured in the cold weather of early December at the Exchange District in Winnipeg.

Love comes at the right time and the right place. This is how the love story of Mayelle and Andy may be described. Both waited and needed to be thousands of miles away to perfect their story. It came. Finally,

Best wishes and God bless your marriage.

Andy + Mayelle Wedding Slideshow

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

- William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116

I cant help but think about young love when I see this couple. It is so difficult to get them to be serious. They cant help but giggle every time I tell them to look at each other. A happily in love couple indeed. I cant wait to do their wedding next year.

Congratulations on your engagement and see you next year.
