Wedding Week: Day 9

Sunday morning started pretty early for us! Brandon and I had another photo shoot at 9am...which meant I had to be up by 7 to get ready (in all my wedding gear!). Since our beach pictures right before the ceremony on Friday included all our wedding party, we wanted pictures of just the two of us on the beach. We "Trashed the Dress" - but no worries, it is all dried out now and in good shape for the reception next weekend! (By "Trash the Dress" I mean that I allowed the bottom to get wet in the ocean - you only get married once..might as well have fun with it!!!)

Usually we give my mom a hard time about the photos she takes...but check it out, looks like she did a professional job here! Thanks Mom!!! We will look forward to getting our actual pictures on Tuesday!

We also got a few pictures at another location - which meant a ride in the photographer's sweet mini-coop. Wind blown hair is the BEST for pictures!

After our early morning picture session, we spent the day on the beach. Shane and Michelle played quite a bit of football for their last day here!

For dinner, my family and Brandon's family all decided to combine dinners. They all brought the food to the beach pool...where we all had a potluck dinner together. It was so much fun! The only thing that would have been better is if we could have played Mafia again!

Here are the two brothers, Brandon and Shane, in some sweet jumping shots! The sunset was so great, we had to take advantage of it!

And here is my pirate husband (!!!!) displaying his wedding band in a new and unique way.

Our families all leave on Monday morning....and we will really miss them. BUT, it means that Brandon and I have 3 days here all by ourselves...and we can't wait!!!
