We were finally married! As Cake played our recessional song (which Don started calling the booyah several months ago, as in “Booyah! She married me.”) we walked down the aisle hand in hand. We hit the dune path to hide for a moment while everyone else got out of their seats and our excellent mistress of ceremonies, Lynda, passed out some bubbles.
After everyone was assembled, we headed back over the dune into the bubbles. It was so windy that the guests didn’t even have to blow them out … they just kinda wafted out on their own.
Then we asked everyone to stand together so we could get a group shot. Here’s our friend and photographer Chris unlawfully jumping over the dune fence to get a better shot.
I love this picture of Chris at work, too.
After the group shots we let everyone head to the reception. We had hoped the weather would be nice and everyone would linger on the beach sipping lemonade for 10 minutes while we got our final pictures, but it was just too cold. In fact, it was so cold that while we got a few good pictures like ones below, we didn’t get everything we wanted - like pictures of Don and I closer to the water, or sitting together in the sand or in the wedding chairs, or with writing in the sand, etc.
I think we got pictures of me with Jaimie, Lynda and Dawn, plus Don with Mickey and Suzanne. I REALLY hope we got them anyway as those were the people who stepped up to play a special role on our wedding day (like a wedding party without matching dresses and rented tuxedos).
At any rate, it was cold and there were cocktails to be had and amazing appetizers to nibble so we headed off to the cocktail hour.

[...] Don processed. You took pictures. I processed. We said, “I do.” Chris took pictures. The time had come to get our drink [...]
