Their wedding was based on a $10,000 budget. Weddings are expensive. But like Shawn and Kendal you can reduce costs without reducing the gorgeousness of the day. They accepted offers from friends and family so the ‘hair styling, cars, cake and photography’ were all given as wedding gifts.

The fabulous bright yellow fabric of the bridesmaid’s dresses was in stark contrast to, but worked so wonderfully with the natural beauty of the beach.

Kendal’s hair style was perfect for a beach wedding as the soft breeze during the ceremony had her hair looking beautifully natural and 'tousled' as opposed to looking 'messed up'. With no veil to fuss with or worry about, she was just there in the moment.

Shawn and Kendal wrote both their Vows and their Declaration of Intention otherwise known as the Asking... which follows as their words reflect well their personalities.

Shawn

Do you promise to love and support Kendal through all life events, pick her up when she is down and give her back rubs, even on the nights you really don’t want to. Do you promise to always check the house at night whenever she hears a sound to keep her protected, and do you promise to work together in the upbringing of your children?

“I Do”

Kendal

Do you promise to love and support Shawn through all life events, Will you spend less time on facebook and give Shawn back massages whenever he may ask. Do you promise not to be too mad if a new toy may appear in the garage and do you promise to work together in the upbringing of your children?
