I snapped a photo of Erika peering out the window at the numerous chairs that had toppled over from the wind. Everything was falling over and blowing away. Guests were running all over the lawn trying to catch various items before they blew away and into the ocean. For so many brides this would have been the point of panic. The wind ruins wedding hair, decorations and...well plans. But, as I released my shutter Erika turned around with a huge grin on her face and laughed it off. Though the situation wasn't what she had been dreaming of since she was little, it was still special to her. Which is the way it should be.
They embraced the tough things and had fun with it. Collin who is a total kid at heart anyway embraced it and helped turn every situation into pure comedy. While Erika's veils were blowing all around her during the ceremony, Collin has this adorable grin on his face as if to say, "Sweetheart, you look amazing, but you have to admit...this is pretty funny." And it was. I was dying while watching Collin's reaction. Priceless.
Erika and Collin are truly a perfect couple who love life and each other. Who can lose? Congrats you guys!!! We love you!
