Rachel+Jeff :: Forever

I don't know where to start blogging about this wedding.  Honestly.

Should I start with a rant about how the airline industry hates Jodi and me?  Should I mention that we always have terrible seats on the plane, and how in the last 2 trips we've been on, we've had 4 bags lost, at least 10 hours of delays and how they don't even give you complimentary peanuts anymore!?  Should I mention that instead of being on the beach at 1pm, we only arrived at 1am the next day?  Nah... that would be whining.

Or should I start by mentioning how beautiful the Secrets Capri resort was, and how we had a first class welcome with glasses of champagne before we even checked in, and our towels folded into two swans who were apparently getting married? (the point is, the staff knew we were with the wedding... we were impressed).  Or should I mention how we opened the balcony door to our room so we could feel the warm ocean breeze on our faces, and how there were no bugs (unlike Iowa)?  Should I mention that it rained the first 2 days, but cleared off just in time for the wedding?  Should I mention that the minister was a wise-crack, or that during the mother/son dance, one of the groomsmen tripped over the power cord and broke(?) the iPod speakers causing Jeff and his mother to finish the dance to Jeff's singing?  Or should I mention how I scored 6 goals in beach soccer and how impressive that is because I NEVER play soccer.

Or, maybe I should start the post by saying again how blessed we are to work with amazing people. Rachel and Jeff... you guys will always have a special place in our hearts because of how sincere and genuine and in love you both are.  We normally don't get to spend this much time with our wedding clients, but you and your families were so fun and welcoming... it was awesome to be with you all. I could mention how great at karaoke Jeff and his brothers were...

Or I could just show you some pictures...

This pier was actually at the next resort over.  It was closed, because it looked a bit unsafe at the far end, but Jodi asked permission from the life guard.  He told us to be careful but to go ahead.  It was a bit of a process getting a bride in a white dress on/off of the grimy steps, though. :)  Click here for a behind the scenes look.

This was on Sunday night, the last night at the resort for both of us.  Jodi and I stayed and extra 3 days after the wedding in honor of our 7th anniversary, which was last Monday.  We found Jeff and Rachel right before dinner and asked if they wanted to join us for some sunset pictures.

This was Rachel's shot of Jodi and I... pretty good, I must say. Awesome lighting, Jeff!
