Cindy and Paul - Day One


This post has been a long while in the making. A little too long. If you recall a few posts ago mentioning I was behind on my posts due to a hard drive crash that was a significant blow. It caused me to be way way behind.

Anyhow, the next three days are dedicated to one of those couples. It is not often that couple so special invites you to not only document such a special day, but ask you and your wife to be part of it. I am of course speaking of Cindy and Paul.

Cindy is the oldest of three. She has a sister Jessica and brother Christian, and the parents of this clan are Norman and Brenda Schwarzkopf. Yes, Cindy's father is General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, and if you don't know who he is getting to know him will give you a little insight on modern history. Also, why the Middle East is so important to the United States. In my eyes the entire family are heros. They really went through a lot to serve our great country.


Paul and his family not quite as well known, but an amazing story just the same. Paul has a sister Dorota, and she is married to Marc. They have a wonderful daughter Alex. Paul and Dorota are the kidos of Tad and Anna Karmazyn. They are first generation immigrants living the American Dream. They are truly an inspiration.

The wedding took place at Cabin Bluff just north of the Florida border. Truly amazing place these images are from the first night of a a long weekend. Here is the slideshow from that night.

Enjoy!

Everyone meeting for the first time at Cabin Bluff.
A sneak peak for what was in store for us the next day. Fun!!!

He may be the General, but his sister Sally still slaps him around.
