WHAT MAKES HER SMILE…
If you know Kristen, then she may have already given you a nickname or two. They range anywhere from your name shortened then pronounced twice, like Ne-Ne, or what sounds like kisses. Muah-Muah? That’s how she makes you feel … Like you’re a part of what makes her smile. A big part of what makes Kristen smile is Shadi … She makes him smile, too. As long as Kristen is happy, then he’s happy.
From the moment he saw her in her wedding dress for the first time, he was smiling— not only did she look absolutely beautiful, she looked so happy.
Kristen & Shadi: I hope you two have a fab-fab time on your honeymoon in Bora Bora!! BTW, I make a great personal photographer and I’m also available worldwide. *hint, hint*

So, sneaking photos of Kristen’s dad smiling was a little tricky; but, when he went up on stage for the Father-Daughter dance, there he was just beaming with pride— and all smiles! (Kristen’s twin sister Melanie and friends were on the side singing along… It was so sweet!)
