Gown and Bridesmaid dresses by: Demetrios Bridal

The love story continues...now that everyone is dressed and ready, it's time to convene on the beach for the purpose of this day...the Ceremony!

The guys are all geared up and ready...shoes set aside for this sunny afternoon beach wedding. No barefoot sandals for them but they do look great don't they?

The girls join them for the arm in arm walk along the path of seashells to the ceremony. Love that orange color...so tropical.

Here comes our Bride, Rebecca, escorted by Dad, Cory and Mom, Doris. The only sounds were the ocean and the beautiful voice of their friend who sang to them.

Groom, Michael, bridal party and family and guests watch the gorgeous bride coming down her aisle of huge seashells for the quiet ceremony performed by their close friend.

Announcing the new Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kurtz! Some tearful moments for sisters of the bride and joyous celebration for the Bride and Groom!

One of the great things about small, intimate weddings is the opportunity to get group shots of everyone in attendance. As you can see by the next photo, this party is ready to start!

Stay tuned for Part IV...The Celebration to come shortly.

Destination Cancun Part II

Excellence Playa Mujeres, Cancun, Mexico

Day 1, Part 2
The Excitement Builds

Hair and makeup done...Rebecca and her girls head to their suite to begin dressing for the big moment, but first, the arrival of a gorgeous gift from Michael. A Swarovski butterfly necklace from Jared. What a lucky girl. I think what really brought her to tears, as well as the bridesmaids and myself, was the custom card he made her with photos of their precious pets.

While the girls hung out and had a light lunch and mimosas, I headed off to see what the guys were up to. That turned out to be a few beers and shooting some pool. No tension here...everyone was just waiting for the moment to arrive.

Then it was back to the honeymoom suite to see the bride getting dressed. She had tons of help from mom Doris, sisters and future sister-in-laws and friends. Rebecca looked breathtaking! Don't you just love the invisible sandals?

Next stop...the ceremony! Watch for the next episode of "Destination Cancun".
