John and joseph photography, seattle waterfront marriott
After a magical meeting on New Year’s Eve 2004 in Addis Ababa, a meant-to-be courtship between Selome and Abiy began, and culminated late last August in a lavish, unique and joyful celebration that honored their Ethiopian cultural traditions and lasted throughout the weekend. Friends and family members came together to help plan and organize the many meaningful events and create extra special details like personalized invitations, stylish décor and homemade favors. Besides having fun, Selome and Abiy wanted to be sure that everyone they loved felt important and included.
