Complete. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of DJ and Liz. Complete: Achieved. Encompassed. Unbroken. Undiminished. Undivided. The whole enchilada. Hook, line and sinker… They look at each other and you just know. It’s a complete love. — I had the pleasure of sharing a beautiful day with Dj and Liz, as they spent their wedding day enjoying the company of friends and family. ...
