Parties: Vanessa + Kibwe (Shamless Family Plug)

Shameless plug alert. Take a look at my Niece Vanessa's (yes I said Niece) wedding video. Isn't she stunning!

Vanessa & Kibwe Thomas - Same Day Edit (Feat. Kibwe Thomas "Today I Get To Marry You) from Stephen Franklin Cinema on Vimeo.

The wedding took place in Canada on May 27, 2011 and in it you will see Vanessa's handsome groom singing a song her wrote for his wife. I have easily watched this video a thousand times and get teary-eyed every time! I look forward to buying his single on I-tunes:)

God bless you Vanessa & Kibwe on a long lasting and eternally blessed marriage!
