October 3, 2009 My dear friend and Joya bride Jillian married her true love Stephen at the First Church in Swampscott, MA.
Jillian and I met in 2007 while I was preparing to attend to her soon to be sister-in-law, Laura for her wedding in Ipswich, MA June 2008. Jillian, her mother Merry, her Aunt Connie, friend Wendy and other cousins and neighbors made the trip to Dover through rain, snow, sleet and ice for regular skin care appointments and makeup lessons first for her brother's wedding and then her own.
The morning of the wedding my friend and talented makeup artist Katherine MacDonald of
Beliza in Chelmsford arrived at the Marblehead Inn bright and early. We had a wonderful time with all 8 or Jillian's bridesmaids, MOB Merry, MOG Debbi and Aunt Connie. They fed us yummy breakfast treats, lots of coffee and the best of all...hugs and kisses. We felt like part of the family and I was of course teary eyed during the ceremony just like a dotting aunt would be.
Couldn't resist posting this photo of Jillian as it captures her radiant smile. As much as I would like to take credit for her glowing skin and sparkling eyes...I think marrying Stephen is the real reason!
Best wishes, Jillian and Steve, for a long and happy life together.
Thank you Merry and Co. for your visits and I hope to see you post wedding for more. Don't forget....we still have Roger!
