I Do in Malibu

To all our friends & family:

Our hearts & minds are guided by those that came before us. We tromp through the unknown because that's the way our fathers did it, and we think of others with fond thoughts because our mothers taught us to have compassion for others.

When I was young I spent most of my summer days at the beach. I distinctly remember following my father's footprints in the sand by taking large leaps so that my footprints land in the imprints he had left. Today I realize that our footsteps have wondered a path separate from that of our parents but if it weren't for the footprints that laid our foundation, life would have had a different story for us. We are blessed to have been surrounded by friends and family that have left their footprints in the sand so that we may experience the support, guidance, love and laughter that you all share with us.

On April 26, 2008 we officially became a new family. The wonderful people who shared our special union with us at sunset in Malibu on a beautiful Spring day shared in the moments that we cannont describe in words. The collection of photos that we have are pieces of our lives that we will remember for eternity. This is our attempt to recreate our perfect beach wedding.

Before the 114 guests arrived at the Beach Club

Terri from Tru Heart Creations was busy at work

creating our vision of a "Beach Chic Wedding."

Every detail from the pillows that matched our wedding colors to the coral filled center pieces was what I envisioned in my dreams.

It took blood, sweat, tears and help from anyone that I could get to help me. I'd like to send some very appreciative 'shout outs' to those who willingly offered their time to the Cashman/Cannon Wedding cause:
*Erin Cannon and Dayna Snow- covered themselves in white powder from sanding my table name frames to give them a perfect beachy weathered look
*Mom Cannon and Natasha Hurley (yes, and even Erin did a few)- hot gluing the mounted wedding programs onto Raffia Fans perfectly
*Brendan Cashman, Natasha, Mom Cannon, Tuck, and random hands from the Tristan Family household- Napkin Night with only 2 days until the wedding- folding,wrapping, taping, gluing, tieing, packing on the assembly line wouldn't have been as fun without you
*Mom Cannon (yes, Dayna did a few including Tuck's:)- stinky star fish name cards-Steph, need I say more?
