Charlene and Melvin: Soon to Be Hitched

love can happen at any time, to anyone. my amazing grandma started dating melvin (or mel as she lovingly refers to him) and became like a twitterpated teen again. i couldn't understand what had come over this person that i thought i knew so well. she was always day dreaming, smiling, and couldn't stop talking about him. they held hands and danced in her kitchen after just two weeks of dating.

i was a little nervous about taking their pictures because:

1. it's my grandma and telling my grandma to hold or kiss someone was gonna be awkward.

2. it was my first engagement session where the couple was not in their twenties, how do i talk to them like i would a young couple?

i realized love is still the same whether you're twenty or seventy. as you can tell, i had nothing to be worried about. mel told me that they had no problem kissing for me, and my grandma told me that they were pretty much addicted to it. wow, they are a normal engaged couple. why was i even worried?!

i'm so excited for you grandma, december 4th can't come fast enough!
