I apologize in advance for the length of this blog post. It’s just that my LITTLE SISTER just got MARRIED! And that, I believe, is a good reason for lots of beautiful images.

When they first got ENGAGED in December, the happy couple’s first thought was to plan for a Summer 2013 wedding. After thinking it over for a while, however, they decided to move up the timetable by a bit. Well, by a year! Oh, and they chose the gorgeous island of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, for their intimate and very special ceremony. Not only did both of their immediate families join them in Mexico for a week of love, laughter and matrimony, but we all contributed something special to the event. I did my sister’s hair and photography, her new sister-in-law crafted the beautiful bouquet, my husband performed the ceremony, and my mother sang. We even all chipped in and decorated the wedding golf-cart (the transportation of choice on Isla Mujeres) and sent them off in style.

The island is a unique place for many reasons, but my favorite is the brightly colored, slightly worn buildings in town center. I’ll start by sharing pics we took here because they were my favorites of the day!

Of course, the little details also made a big impact on the day. Check out that bouquet! Remember I said that it’s hand-made? By an amazing woman who is NOT a florist?! Let’s just say that I’m glad that wasn’t my job…

The actual ceremony took place in the upper palapa of the seaside home we all stayed at. Despite the oppressive heat, we were all happily surprised by the gentle breeze and shade that greeted us there.

After the ceremony, we loaded into the golf carts, hung out by the ocean for a bit, and then headed into town for a mouth-watering dinner at a spectacular little gem of a restaurant.

Congratulations, Rebecca and Abe! We love you and were so happy to share in your special day 🙂
