Tell us a little about you and your beloved:  We met nine years ago, we have two daughters together (ages 7 and 5) and we are expecting a new baby boy any day. We both love getting away, especially to the beach, where I love to surf and he loves to watch me surf!

What was the most amazing part of your day?  Playing on the beach after the ceremony with the kids.

What else would you like to share about your big day?  IT RAINED!
