The long awaited Wedding had been carefully planned and every detail taken care of in anticipation of their romantic destination wedding in Cancun Mexico.
The day of the wedding, the Bride had this personal gift delivered to our room. It was a thoughtfully prepared bag of goodies to enjoy on their wedding day! She had tucked all sorts of special things in that she thought we would enjoy on her wedding day. What a thoughtful Bride! I was impressed with her foresight and skill at planning ahead for each of her guests. - who all received special monogrammed bags with their own personal gifts to prepare for the couple's special wedding. From candles, and scents, suntan lotions, chap sticks, outdoor cameras, flip flops, drink holders, tissues, aspirin, candies, she thought of everything!
We all gathered at an outdoor lounge and relaxed for a short while, while everyone arrived. There was a special area for ones shoes to be put on - this was to be a barefoot beach wedding attire.
A few clouds developed but soon melted away in the distance, leaving us with a golden rainbow for a short while. Perfect entertainment from God.
Soon family members and close friends alike were all there awaiting this special moment in time.
The groom arrives and all are in place right on time to begin.
We all walked over to the perfect setting for the wedding. The sun was just starting to set, and the shading was just right - no sun in anyones eyes. And the breeze was just slightly blowing, it was an absolutely just right scene!
Then the music begins and the dreamy ceremony starts. My husband is soooo good at this, his words and wisdom flow. Everyone was captured by his tenderness to the Bride and Groom. His words of advice come from the Word of God, and our own 32 years of marriage. Well said, and well received.
A picture is worth a thousand words! I bet you never guess who this couple is - if you don't know - you won't know. My lips are sealed. 
There are weddings and then there are Weddings! This one falls in the category of Unforgettable for sure. We pray for their life long and happy marriage.
At the Reception the tables were lavish with crystal and silver, silks and embroidered motifs. Simply gorgeous! The slight breeze wafted in the open air reception area. As you can see the Sea is right there, adding the background colors of the Caribbean ocean.
Later at the Reception, each couple was given a starfish with their name attached with where they were to be seated. Another thoughtful keepsake. They had seated friends with friends, family with family, parents with parents - all carefully arranged to give their guests their care and best attention.
The dinner and music was great! It was one of the most enjoyable weddings we have been honored to attend. With lots of hugs and kisses we bade the Bride and Groom goodbye and took our leave of the evening.
Sigh....... tooo much fun.
Not unlike branding a white dove, many symbolic layers. Yes?
