a twilit night

although i made a pledge not to go to another engagement party until it was my own :) i relented & made an appearance to celebrate the union of two kind hearts. she was glowing. he was beaming. what a perfect couple & an enchanting twilit evening.



what i remember: floating tea lights & soft picked flowers, hands adorned with henna mud~fresh from India{i must say it was an absolute thrill to see a dear heart of a girl & then notice her hands, which were decorated so beautifully. i have been enamoured with this ever since watching 'Kingdom of Heaven' & to see it in person, too exquisite!}, a delicate antique engagement ring, conversation under the stars, creative collaborations vibrantly discussed,


& ending the night under the brightly lit lights of the service station, bumping into those we know, in a flourescent moment.


There are times in which, although we don't have all we seem to need{aka furniture, rugs~figuratively~ etc etc} we can attain a semblance of the mesmerizing...how this picture moves me! [image via Rodney Smith photography]

Today i believe.
