PICTURE OF THE DAY 8/27/11: DERRICK & DEBBIE

Our friends Derrick and Debbie were married on Saturday.  We've known Derrick since we moved to Colorado 12 years ago for my husband to attend grad school.


He and my husband have been working together since finishing their Masters degrees.  When our oldest son was life-flighted after a seizure a few years back, Derrick and  Drew (another grad school friend, and one of yesterday's groomsmen) were the first people to show up at the hospital.  Derrick is a dear friend, and we are so happy for him and Debbie.

Besides being gorgeous, Debbie is an incredible cook.  You should have seen the plate of goodies she brought us last Christmas.  And she, along with her mother and mother-in-law, MADE all of the desserts for the reception!


Derrick and Debbie thought about having me photograph their wedding, but decided they wanted me there as a guest instead.  And I must say, I really appreciated that thoughtful gesture.  As I watched their photographer working throughout the evening (and it really is hard work) I knew I wouldn't have experienced their special day in quite the same way if I'd been in his shoes.  Besides, it's not very often I get the chance to dress up and enjoy an evening out with my husband.  But of course, I still brought my camera!


Congratulations Derrick & Debbie! We love you and are so happy for you!
