Magical Moments

 

It was memorable , because it was small and it was a weekend wedding staying at the Hotel on the beach where the ceremony and reception was. Only the most important people in my life was there sharing this beautiful day with me and Conrad being together for 9 years . It was my dream wedding day on the beach perfect weather facing the sea at sunset. The entrance at the ceremony seeing the groom's face expression looking at me with those blue eyes was my true calling for getting married.
We had a small ceremony with photos and champagne on the beach. Heading for reception at dawn with a lovely evening that followed. I would not change anything of that day.
