What an amazing day for Grace and Chris to get married! Their wedding was on the beach at 2pm (hello HEAT!) and it was a beautiful set up that the hotel had arranged. They had champagne, a little Mexican band playing their music and a beautiful area set up for the ceremony. It was quite a quick ceremony which was great considering the heat. We were fortunate enough to be asked to participate in their ceremony as well! There were four Philipino traditions for a wedding ceremony and we were asked to do the "Rope" ceremony where we drape a silk rope tied in a figure eight over Grace and Chris's heads to symbolize their unity...was very cool and we both felt honored to be asked to participate. Grace looked UNBELIEVABLE, just beautiful, seriously just stunning. Her dress was gorgeous and she just looked amazing. We had the supper at the Steakhouse and then drinks and speeches by the poolside bar, was a great day!
We also did go parasailing on Tuesday morning, Marth was nice enough to watch the girls again while they were napping so off we went for a tandem sail. We were both amazed at how quiet it was once we got into the air! Beautiful views of the ocean and the resort and we also saw a small pod of about 8 dolphins! Great experience for sure!
More stories to come in a couple days!
