St Lucia - All About Us

After the wedding was over the photographer took us around the resort for a few (well a lot more than a few) pictures.  Darren was a good sport and hardly complained even though he was not enjoying himself.  Here are some of the best pictures from the few hundred he took while we walked around.

This bridge led from the main part of the resort to where our room and the gazebo were. 


This is out in front of the resort.


There was a large lawn near from the front of the resort where we took these. 


Right on the water.  It was incredibly hot and sunny.


The restaurant in the background is where are reception was later in the evening.


Before the reception we were able to get a few sunset pictures.  The colors turned out so well some of them look fake.

St Lucia - Bridal Party

A bunch of bridal party pictures.  So lucky to have these 5 ladies fly to St Lucia to stand up in our wedding.


These 6 guys are Darren's closest friends. We're so lucky everyone was able to make it to the wedding.


The whole bridal party!

He is MINE, give him back!
