Dianne and David together have the biggest heart I know.  In one of David’s job, he administers chemo.  Dianne is a teacher.  Their jobs can be stressful, but that’s probably why when they are together, all they do is laugh and have fun.  They were meant to be the sunshine in each other’s lives.  They’re both super involved in their church and it was through their church at UCI that they met.

This is the story of Dianne & David, and how two became one.

See the anklet?  That’s a new tradition her and her friends started.  They’re going to pass that on to each girl that gets married, adding on a new charm each time.  Dianne got a little red apple since she’s a teacher.  I wonder who’ll get the anklet next!

I love how her bridesmaids are all lined up in the corner of this shot.

Isn’t their cake topper the cutest?  Peter the Anteater, UCI‘s mascot.  So appropriate since that’s where they met, and where we did their engagement photos!

She also DIY’ed her escort cards.  Rhinestones all hand applied on each and every invite & escort card.

They’re both huge Kanye West fans, so The Good Life was a running theme.

Their speeches was full of laughter and tears.  Her father’s speech/toast was the BEST I’ve ever heard.  I wish I could have a copy of it.  It was witty, touching, and funny.  Dianne’s sister then surprised her with a whole Polynesian Dance show, all performed by her siblings, cousins, and other friends/family.

They even got her mom to come up and try.  It was so cute!

Congrats Dianne & David on an amazingly fun & touching wedding!  I wish you two much love and laughter.  I know you two will be so happy together because you both give so freely and expect nothing in return.  Keep doing that for one another!
