Samantha and Jim…what a sweet couple! Also the kind of people I would be friends with. They met me at a local bar with every intention of booking me immediately and we talked for a good 1 1/2 hours about life, how they met, what our favorite foods are, things that bug us, etc. They had gotten married in 2011 but Jim had to ship out pretty quickly thereafter, so they didn’t have a wedding ceremony. After his return, they started planning a reception at the beautiful Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Austin for the spring. Highlights were the larger-than-life cupcake bar, cocktail hour with waitstaff holding little delectables on trays, and a super-fun time on the dance floor! Jim’s buddies were particularly goofy (gotta love it!). When I said goodbye to the happy couple, Jim cracked up at something fairly trivial, and man do I love that picture 🙂
