Wedding on the Beach

Wedding Gathering

Carter Cousins Roaming the
Mexican Resort, Sunday Morning

The day was enjoyed, going out Sunday brunch at one of the resort's many restaurants. We had fun ordering breakfast drinks, then trying to guess if we were given what we actually ordered. I'm still not sure if the honey dew juice I ordered is what I ended up with, but whatever was in that glass, I thought it muy tasty.

Following breakfast we shopped for things we didn't bring with us, such as sun block. Then the energetic cousins went for a walk along la playa, while those like me were happier just heading back to our suite. Yeah, I'm quite the wet tamale,whatever country I'm in.

I enjoyed getting shots of my cuzzies from our balcony above the sands.

Inspired by my cousins, I decided to get involved, so I watched an exercise class down in the pool below. I love exercise. I could watch it all day.

Late afternoon, all dressed up, my cousins and I walked over to the white sandy beach, where we settled into our chairs facing the Gulf of California.

The parents of the happy groom were sat up front. My Aunt Arna looked so beautiful we all had to remind ourselves that staring is rude. Meanwhile, Uncle Matt sent his drone sailing high over the gathering wedding guests.

When all the guests were seated, and the adorable flower girls had strewn a sufficient quantity of blossoms along the route, the groom and his bride got into place.

The vows were said and at the end of it all, a dear friend of the newly wed couple had a challenge for them, to drink from a pair of glasses attached to a long 'Shotski' board. It is an old Polish tradition, and although we had no old Poles present, bride & groom managed to sip the poteen without spilling it, and therefore bring years of good luck into their wedded life.



The sun was  now below the horizon and the sky was beautiful with pink tinges. Gradually, the wedding party & guests migrated to the tented area where the wedding feast would take place.

A perfect day and a perfect wedding. Oh...

and must mention the food was a real treat. In closing here
is the dessert, each of which was topped off with a strawberry cradled in a little basket of spun sugar... it was as sweet as our day was.
