Islamorada Florida in the Keys....

A great little place!!
Pines and Palms in Islamorada Florida.

It just seemed like old Florida, the Florida I knew growing up in the 50's and 60's, before Disney.

Amanda enjoying the hammock.

The plants are so beautiful so tropical...

Not very busy this time of year..

This guy was taking pictures, I'm sure they turn out beautiful.

We did some of this.

We didn't do this but we could have if we wanted to!!

Have a great week!!

Ryan and Nicole's Islamarada Florida wedding!

My Amanda went to middle and high school with Nicole.
They have been good friends for about 16 years.
Lots of dance classes together.
Being on the high school dance team.
Amanda doesn't have any stories to tell about their school days.
At least that's what she says.
Her lips are sealed...

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful place.

Here are Nicole's nieces serving water on the beach right before the service.
What a great idea!!

Just look at the beautiful setting.
The weather was perfect.
The sun setting behind the building, so there was shade on the ceremony.


The priest heading on over to get ready...


The flowers are simply beautiful..

Sweet faces all around..

Looking for the bride....

Big smiles all around...

Look at these handsome men..

Lots of happy people waiting for the bride..

Waiting patiently...


Beautiful sister, maid of honor.....

New sister in law and sister...

Open bar!!
Waa Hoo!!

This is Kathy, the mother of the bride.
I'm sorry I didn't get any nice photo's of her at the ceremony.
