In honor of our 6 year wedding anniversary (and the fact that I have a blog of my very own) I've decided to post a picture story of our special day. We decided that a destination wedding was what we wanted and (believe it or not) the most cost effective. We packed our bags and headed off to the Sandals resort in Negril, Jamaica. It was everything that Mo and I wanted out of a wedding: no problems!! The resort was beautiful and always lined with fresh pineapple and rum :) It seemed as if Bob Marley's Three Little Birds was playing almost on repeat throughout the resort - which made for believing that every little 'ting was gonna be alright. All in all, there wasn't a lot of formality or even a lot of people (though the family and friends that came were soooo amazing) but in the end it's what we wanted...
Also, I must immediately pay gratitude for the amazing photography to our totally talented friends Ben Julian and Amy Karle. Without their artistic eye, enthusiasm and kick-butt camera our day would have not been the same! (you can click on all the pics to make them bigger)

And so here we go! The whole crew once we all arrived!
There wasn't anything to "rehearse" so we all went out for a Hibachi dinner the night before.
On the day of the wedding we spent time hanging on the beach and sailing in the waters....

And a friendly game of big-size chess (one of Mo's favorites) even though my Dad kicked his butt!
...then it all began.............................................................
Mo and the Minister
Dad, giving me away (or so they say)
Saying our vows
Exchanging our rings
Becoming husband and wife!
Making it official
Cutting the cake
Jamaican toast!
My pretty bridesmaids
Our "after" pictures
Moving into the evening with a buffet on the beach and a steel drum band!
And finishing up with an outrageous fire dance by Amy! What a surprise!
