Official Photo

Hollis, the wedding photographer, sent me a few shots yesterday, and this one was among them.

After the ceremony the wedding party traipsed down the beach a little ways to a spot Hollis had picked out earlier in the week, where the light was just right. Mary and I ran into the water and shouted for him to take our picture as we skipped along the shore line. (It will not come as a surprise to anyone who knows me (or has read me for awhile), that I'm not exactly camera shy.) How can you have a beach wedding and not get a few shots of people in the water? We were doing our bridesmaid duty.

It's been a long year leading up to the wedding, with a lot of planning and shopping and preparing, and that was just for me! I'm so happy for Sarah and Doug that everything went so beautifully and that the weekend was so fantastic. It's sort of sad that it's all over, but I feel like now I can get back to the business of living.

Jamaica is a fascinating place where they put hot dogs on pizza and Island Time means you might get a beach towel tomorrow. Maybe. But it's also a place where it's easy to fall in love or feel loved and where every night, when the sun hits the water and turns it from blue to gold, you know that God is good and you are blessed.
