What a fantastic trip! Wonderful wedding, so great to catch up with family, and wow relaxing to fly by myself ha ha (well, just me and our quiet inside baby:) So so glad I went :)
This could not be any more beautiful. Wow. Their decision to get married in Puerta Vallarta with all of you gathered there was the right one. Those are the best wedding pics, ever.
ReplyDeleteDear Monique,
ReplyDeleteGreat job of putting together hilights of your birthday, the Groom's Dinner, the Wedding and Reception, the breakfast gathering, and other special moments,too! Wonderful job of documenting the song at the wedding; I believe you are the only one that was able to capture the music! It was great to see you and baby Jingle. Love you so much! Mom
Dear Monique,
ReplyDeleteWe were all very happy that you would share your birthday and all the celebrations centering on the wedding, too. Great job documenting a lovely time for all; especially loved how you recorded the song that Amy and Marcus sang at the wedding. Bravo! Reminiscent of your wedding being the day after Marcus' birthday a few years earlier. All special and precious times to treasure. Love you, Mom and Dad
So pretty! Glad it all worked out :)
ReplyDeleteI MUST visit this resort. Beautiful photos!
