I made the photo, and the subject of the photo.

Anyone who’s met me knows Kayla.  She’s the light of my life, my best friend, my biggest headache, and my one and only daughter.

Kayla is 16 and a half, but wants you to know that she’ll be 17 by the wedding.  We actually scheduled our wedding for the last day in June so it wouldn’t get in the way of her having a great birthday.  😀

Kayla is incredibly creative, a talented illustrator, dancer and makeup artist.  When the wedding happens, she’ll have just ended her Junior year in high school, and when she graduates she hopes to pursue cosmetology and business, at University of Oregon if she can.

When we got engaged, we felt strongly that Kayla should have a big part in the ceremony. After all, Chris is not just marrying me – that’s why the title of this site is C + K2. We talked to her about it, and she really, really wanted to be my Maid of Honor.

Who needs tradition?  This bride’s MOH is her own daughter, and I think that’s just perfect.
