Christy+Seth | Aruba Civil Ceremony

The morning of the wedding day Christy, Seth and immediate family went downtown to the civil court for the "official" wedding blessing. I think courthouse weddings would be more popular if they looked and were done like this one. It was a very intimate and sweet moment.

Christy+Seth | Aruba Pre-Wedding

Why get a massage and nails done the day before the wedding when you can go four-wheeling around the island! I think it's genius. Wedding jitters seem to fade away while you're roaming hidden caves, old ruins, or just trying not to flip the 4wheeler down steep, rocky hills! Not to mention a great way to see the island.

Christy, Seth and their family were so welcoming, I felt like I've known them all for years. They truly are in love with each other and life. They wanted a relaxed, fun wedding week and this was a great way to kick it off.

Thank you Christy for letting me hop on with you! It was a blast! Enjoy a few of my favs.

happy birthday grandpa!

grandpa -- i know you aren't aware that it's your birthday but i hope you feel extra special today. maybe with an extra slice of cake (which we all know you love), a few more laughs and hugs from the nurses, family and visitors. my thoughts are with you today. you are always in my heart. i wish i could be there with you today to sit, make bad norwegian jokes and give you copious amounts of hugs. love you gramps. xoxo
