our lives so often call for moments of celebration, of reflection and gratitude with those we love and cherish the most. it is within that space that we are reminded of what was and of course what is. we remember the years bygone and recount the moments that meant the most. and we find ourselves blessed by the present, by the unity, by the together-ness.
helen and roy mcardle's 60th wedding anniversary and 90th birthdays were reason enough indeed to assemble together the McArdle clan from near and far and to celebrate their marriage, to reflect on the legacy they are leaving, and to thank them for the profound impact they have had on the lives of those around them. it was cause for a big ol' party. and that it was... in Kailua, Hawaii mind you.
from live, authentic hawaiian tunes to homemade spreads of local favorites, from toasts of gratitude and tales of wonderful McArdle memories to special details that spoke of Helen and Roy's ninety years of life and sixty years together, it was an event i was honored to take part and was a pleasure to photograph.
Helen & Roy may you be blessed with continued health and happiness and may you be blessed for all you have done, are doing and will do for those around you. you are an example to many. and to the whole McArdle family, thank you for honoring your parents in such a beautiful way and for planning a wonderful celebration for them. what a great family to have gotten the chance to know. thank you.
