The Wedding

Polly's granddaughter just got married and guess where they held the wedding ceremony - right near us on Treasure Island (part of the city of St Petersburg). They held the wedding right on the beach. Here comes the bride (Danielle) with her parents (Lynette is Polly's daughter and Jim is Lynette's ex).

Here is Lynette again isn't she pretty -  whoops, it isn't Lynette it's her mother Polly, they look so much alike I get them mixed up.

I like the way Danielle planned the wedding - It was all on the Internet - Google for a Justice of the Peace in Saint Petersburg - Ask him to suggest a location and a photographer - Done - The wedding is planned -

Polly and I got there early and were having an ice cream at a shop on the main drag and saw this guy walk by in a formal suit and dragging a suitcase filled with flowers and a rake and stuff - He was the Justice of the Peace and was going to prepare the site for the wedding. He made a heart with flowers and shells, raked the sand smooth and waited for the wedding party to arrive.

They said their vows with his help (he held prompt cards with "I Do" written on them).

After the ceremony they walked down to the ocean and got some photo's with the setting sun behind them.

After the wedding, we and the rest of the wedding party went to a beachfront restaurant for a great dinner. Once again, the bride Googled four star restaurants on Treasure Island and booked the place from Connecticut - I like her. I didn't get many pictures of the meal but this cropped one of the wedding cake. You'll see it again in our next blog.  Seeing the wedding party was flying home, Polly took the cake back with us. She froze the top tier so they can have it on their first anniversary and we served the rest of the cake was as dessert for a party we held at our house a week later for the line dancing group I belong to.
