Congratulations to Meredith and Ian, who just got married at a private club in Pasadena, California!

The celebration was a heartfelt and playful occasion that focused on family and friends. The bride had a custom train created for her wedding dress, which was fashioned from the dress her mother wore down aisle.  She pinned her grandmother’s wedding rings and a turquoise broach to her belt, in the tradition of having something old and something blue. The groom wore “Trust Me, I Am a Doctor” cuff links (which appeased my inner Doctor Who geek. Ian is a physicist, so who knows … maybe he does have a time-machine stashed away somewhere).

There were trivia games during dinner, heartfelt vows (that included math equations and the scientific process on how to find “the one”), and a flower girl who stole the pink wig from the photobooth and wore it all through the reception. And boy, could this family dance! The day after the wedding, Russell couldn’t stop talking about what a fantastic time he had capturing Meredith and Ian’s big day.
