christine&adam {wedding} a.d. bruce religion center, houston, texas

This is a wedding I won't easily forget. I lost count of the number of times I burst out laughing. Christine & Adam are sweet & wonderful people who always have a giant smile on their face. Christine & Adam chose to have their wedding at the A.D. Bruce Religion Center on University of Houston's campus with beautiful white lines. The sun was out & it was a beautiful day.

So, Adam apparently is an avid llama lover. He told his mom he wanted a llama cake...

What really set this wedding apart from others was the talent show. Yes, I said talent show. There was a drum solo by the bride, some stand up comedy, the bride's sister played & sang a song she composed, & the groom finished the show with a special dance with a blow up whale.

If my memory serves me correctly, Christine first encountered Adam at a talent show where he danced with the same whale. He had to upstage himself so he brought streamers with him this time.
