Doug + Christen’s Castle Wedding in Carmel

by Austin

in Weddings

A few things you need to know:

  1. Doug & Christen did not kiss until their wedding day! Dara & I tried that but made it only as far as our engagement.  Do you know how hard that is to do!? Kudos!
  2. This castle is a private residence, not usually used for weddings.  So, being a part of one held there was a huge honor!
  3. We had a blast – and Aliyah joined us :-D !  Check out the behind the scenes photos at the end.

Behind the Scenes:

Doug & Christen were so kind as to invite our little Aliyah to come along! They even provided a babysitter for us – isn’t that awesome?  Here is a one of Aliyah and I dancing during the reception:
