Beach Wedding & Beach Reception from Mike's Camera

Mike took some pretty impressive pictures that Friday of the Beach Wedding and Reception. Remember I was a bridesmaid, so Mike was in charge of Max, and he still got these great photos! Thanks Mike for such great photos. These are some of my favorites of the day...a few memories I have of the day are..
1 - Getting my hair done with Kelley with mom watching and taking a million pictures at the Resort.
2 - Trying to get everything we needed up to the Bridal Suite
3 - Trying to get Kelley, mom, phyllis, 3 nieces, 3 bridesmaids ready in 1 room
4- Getting kelley in her dress
5 - Getting kelley from the Bridal Suite down to the Dolphin room - fitting in the elevator with the random couple and almost all getting out on the wrong floor.
6 - How Beautiful the room was where we waited for the wedding to start with the glass windows looking out onto the ceremony.
7 - Walking in the sand, trying to look like a graceful bridesmaid
8 - How pretty it was when Mike Shaw sang his song at the ceremony
9 - The meaning of the sand as the unity candle. I had never heard all of it before and it was very meaningful
10 - Pictures with the groom and bride and all bridesmaids and groomsmen on the beach
11 - The wonderful guitar player at the wedding and everyone dancing ( Mabry and Max the Most!)
12 - Max falling down the stairs and having to get the first aid kit out
13 - Gran not being able to open the champagne for the toast
14 - the neatest and best tasting cupcake cake I have ever had
15 - everyone going swimming after the reception
What a great day it was. I was so excited and blessed to see my sister get married and to be a part of everything. This was the best vacation we have ever taken. We will remember it forever. Thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who made it possible. You have to keep your eye on Max ALL of the time...look what he almost got himself into to.
