Wedding Memories (click inside to enlarge)
Photos made possible by Susan and Virginia - thank you!!
As you can imagine, our cameras didn't make it out of the bags very often with two little toddlers on the go at all times. I know that is shocking, as Becky and I are the queens of photography. But honestly, with all the hoopla surrounding the wedding and mingling with family and friends, we found very little time for documentation of the wedding. We are relying on the photographer and other attendees of the wedding for that. What we have though is great visual memories of the wedding.
Photos made possible by Susan and Virginia - thank you!!In an effort not to forget all the good times, I am posting the highlights above.
Top left photo represents the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" party Thursday night. As usual, dad put on his entertaining show with a medley of songs special to Marina and Will.
The second picture represents the wonderful "Life Is Good" Rehearsal dinner party in the garage of the Holloway house. There were many wonderful toasts, but the most memorable of all was Will's toast. For those who were lucky to witness this, it was so special. The top right picture is one of our own girls who earned the title "The Dancing Queen" and received MVP of the night. Can you guess who it was? :) Dad and friends did another version of Wagon Wheel for Marina and Will with solos from Will's family and ours.
Of course, the next row of photos begins with the house we stayed in, Lollygag, on the right and the house the Holloways stayed in, Abaco, just to the left. Both houses were amazing, and all the events were held at one or the other.
Toes in the sand...what more can I say?
Then we come to the ceremony...what's more special than having your hometown preacher make the journey to officiate the ceremony?! It meant so much to have Mr. Williamson a part of their special day.
The ceremony day started out with rain, rain and more rain. We were getting a little worried about the situation when 5 o'clock rolled around and there was still rain with no end in sight. The wedding was supposed to start at 6 o'clock but it was still raining. The decision was made to pull the wedding inside, but something was telling Marina this wasn't right. After patiently waiting, we saw a glimmer of hope with some clearing in sight. We all headed out to do the ceremony - rain or shine.
Wouldn't you know, the clouds parted and the most gorgeous sunset you have ever seen braced the sky. And to top it off, there was a COMPLETE rainbow going right over us across the entire sky. Marina and Will were due their pot of gold. What a wonderful way to end the wedding week and to begin their new life together.
