The wedding June 23rd

At the reception the Hawaiian dancers wanted the wedding party to get up and learn some moves. Luckily I wasn't chosen! ;)

Jason, Eleanore, me and Ricardo

Just the two of us. Awesome but weird, we missed our rascals soooo much!

The wedding was held right on the beach. It was a beautiful testament of God's glory.

This pastor was so great. Here he is blowing the big conch. In Hawaii, the conch shell is blown before anything important begins. The service was wonderful. He taught us that when we are married we should follow the acronym B-E-S-T. We should Bless, Edify, Share, and Touch.

Bless your spouse each day with the things that they like. Learn their love language. We should edify them with kind words and be encouraging. Share things with eachother. And touch, be affectionate. I was just so excited that he shared this with us all. It was a great message even for those of us who have been married for a while.

Ricardo was the Best Man and Alex, our nephew, the ring bearer.

Beautiful, beautiful Hawaii

Tuesday after the bike ride we went back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. It was held on the beach and the reception was at a nearby hotel. It was a wonderful ceremony even though it rained and stopped and rained again and then stopped. We were blessed to be there.
