The wedding was wonderful and went way too quickly for both Marcia and I. It was a fun, simple affair on the beach. Marcia and I ducked out of the fiesta for a minute or two to take some time to connect and reflect. I can’t believe I get to call her “wifey” now. I love it. Getting married to Marcia has seemed so natural and effortless. Except for all the prep of the actual wedding, it’s been relatively stress-free. Regarding my transition from bachelor to married man, I never did really think that I was all that cut out to be a single guy. It’s just not in my dna. Marcia feels the same way. When we both look into each other’s eyes, there’s a whole new connection level. It’s lovely, in the truest sense of the word.
My good buddies Ryan, Tony and James stepped in my best men and I wanna give them an extra-special thanks for taking the time out of their busy lives to travel from LA to Vallarta to bless our wedding. It was amazing having our friends and family around for the past week. Every day filled with adventures, dinners and things. As we finally said goodbye to everyone, Marcia and I are coming down off a week-long high of wedding prep and trying to make sure everyone is looked after. It was all a bit overwhelming and I think we both wish we could relive the whole thing again in slow motion sans stress.
Just as the last of friends and family leave, we are making our final preps for our honeymoon. No time to get life back to normal before we leave. Late tomorrow we fly to Los Angeles and then Friday we start our trip and there’s a million things that need doing before we can take off. 2 1/2 months is a long time to be gone. Cars, rent, bills, pets, work, etc… all needing attention and time.
Just as a note for people who are planning their honeymoons: if you choose a long honeymoon, leave some space between the wedding and the start of your trip. We could have used a week or so to say goodbye to relatives, finish any post-wedding clean-up, get life back to normal, do the last minute trip prep and then be out. oh well, next time…
Little joke there, haha.
So, my sister Beth took a bunch of pics and here’s the first batch. She’s a pro of course and knows wedding shoots inside and out. She was hesitant about having to shoot our wedding, since well, she’s my sis and she should be in the photos, but I really wanted just a few photos of us medium format analog and digital. Beth essentially shot the entire wedding and the fiesta. At times I had to tell her just to put the camera down. I understand how she felt. Coverage, coverage, coverage. When we get back from the honeymoon I’ll update with more wedding photos. Til’ then, here’s bunch:
Felicitaciones!!!
Much joy and goodness to you!!!
