Wedding Video for Gabi & Oscar

 gabi & oscar celebrated their 1st year anniversary last month! can it be? was it truly a year ago our whole family was here together welcoming the newest member with ceremony under the creekside wedding arch accompanied by music, flowers, hugs and kisses, pizza, sprinkles, pink, pink and more pink? yes! 

whoa, what a year its been for them!

during wedding preparations, gabi & oscar had asked ben to be their wedding videographer (it used to be one of ben and kensey's side hustles :). so, in celebration of their first year and as a wedding anniversary gift, ben presented the anxious, excited couple with the finally finished final video recording of their day.

as per first anniversary tradition, gabi and oscar took the top layer of their wedding cake out of the freezer enjoying it together as they watched and relived their treasured day. it brought back all the feels. from beginning to end, this sweet, loving couple was reminded of their special event and the joyous friends and family that shared, celebrated, danced and partied by their side on that momentous and beautiful day.

G & O Engagement Photos

gabi and oscar met their photographer, delaney morrow from delaney morrow photography, up north in fort collins, co for their engagement photo shoot.

gabi and oscar loved working with delaney.

i can't say enough about delaney and the attention, clear communication and brightness she brought to the wedding experience so far. she has been an absolute delight to work with and the images have been more than we hoped for. she is a brilliant wedding photographer and made this shoot very, fun and easy. 

these two are a cute couple to work with too, huh?!

 

Gabi and Oscar's Engagement Party

margo and nicole threw gabi and oscar an engagement party. the venue was set at grandma and grandpa's house in provo, utah so grandma mervyl could be there close to all of the food, fun, family and festivities. grandma suffered a stroke in late february which has left her with less strength than she has always had. 

margo sent invitations to all meyer and reiche family members in the surrounding area, as well as oscar's mom, dad, brothers and sister. a grand gathering of grandma's, grandpa, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters and and cousins came. (our families have no problem making a full, fun crowd of 40) nicole flew in from Los Angeles which was just about as wonderful as the party as we hadn't been able to be with her since the before the beginning of COVID. i just couldn't get enough of seeing and being with her again. all is well except having ben and kensey with us. (we will see them soon)

nicole was in charge of decorations and food. she had 40+ peach tissue pom poms delivered to poof out and hang all around grandma and grandpa's garden. it was a flowery wonderland which had the bees quite confused!! And her food ideas were magnificent!! - a vegetarian charcuterie board, the size of a door, (literally) and a chia seed pudding with fresh strawberries and chocolate filling grandma mervyl's forever family trifle bowl, once again. 

the girls spent the morning at the farmer's market collecting the most exotic and beautiful produce available. sebastian provided a door and we all set to work prepping the fruits, vegetables, nuts and dips. we set up the door/plate on grandma's dining room table and got to work arranging the bounty into a gastronomical masterpiece. the men then gently and carefully set the oversized charcuterie board outside for the party to begin!! help yourselves everyone, don't be shy!

the engagement party evening carried on with the always fun shoe game. 

to play: 

oscar and gabi sit on chairs back to back

each holds one of oscar's shoes and one of gabi's shoes in their hands

margo asks questions such as: "gabi and oscar, which one of you is the better driver?"

oscar and gabi each raise the shoe in the air belonging to their answer to the question (they can't see the other's answer)

it's fun, it's actually hilarious and often quite revealing!

along with the invitation, the guests were sent a recipe card and asked to fill it out with a tried and true favorite, family recipe for the couple. the recipe cards were collected into a recipe file box and presented to gabi and oscar with love and best wishes from everyone.

it was a fantastic evening and family time together with love and best wishes for the engaged couple!

gabi made a video of the evening for good measure......enjoy!
