Wedding in Cancun (Day 5)

Since we were staying at the hotel for a week, each room was awarded $1500 worth of Resort Credits.  I decided to apply some of my credits towards an 80 minute Deep-Tissue Massage this afternoon!

Finally, the big day had come for Rich and Pauline!

"One Ring to Rule Them All..." 

Bring on the bling.

Joe tying a Full Windsor for his little brother...

LOL!  I spotted Julie, Mary, and Lynda from up here.

There's the wedding alter on the sand!

Who else can spot?

Aha, Mary and Kayla!  LOL!

Back to the Chamberlands preparing.

Rich flossing...

Damn, a suit in this heat?!?

"Cufflinks, brother?" 

Mrs. Chamberland coming-in to oversee her sons...

"Good job, kids."

Don't forget this little thing!

Time for some family photos.

Momma's boy...

The plumber and the fireman...

Two BOBOs...

The English side of Joe...

More photos of the Chamberlands...

Sister Kathy and brother Steve are the missing links.  :-(

Sans les lunettes de soleil.

While we were busy with the groom,

the bride was getting all dolled-up!

Heading downstairs now we see Tom and Angie!

Etienne tying in the rings...

Luca was our ring bearer!

Time to head out to the alter.

Here comes the bride!  LOL!  ;-)

There were about 30 in our group!

Everyone looked great.

Cool, eh?

Aeon Flux...

Rich and Pauline brought down parasols and fold-out fans from Vancouver!

A live violinist...

See?  Cute parasols.

Anna and Anthony got full use of the fold-out fans.

Momma and his boy...

Now, we wait.

Here comes the bride!

Nope, just another distraction.

Here come the kids!

Yup, still distracted.

But, the kids!

Here they come!

The ring bearer approaches!

Here comes the bride!

Now, is the hour!

They look so good together.

Our wedding planner (wearing the black shirt)...

The exchanging of vows...

Another distraction.

Apparently, Amber and Alex (from London) were tanning topless this morning and I totally missed it!!!  :-(

"You may kiss the bride."

"Woohoo!!!"

"Blow some bubbles, Luca!"

"Yay!"

The adoring fans...

There she goes!

I was so happy, I was walking on water!

Jumping up for joy.

Yay, we did it!!!

Lynda and Mary were poolside.

I was trying to stay cool.

Our reception was set-up right by the pool and overlooking the beach!

It was so cool!

Just like a Southern Belle.

"Rich, where's your wife?"

Ashaka and her lovely aunt...

That's not Pauline, that's Mary.  LOL!

Another wedding took place at the beach an hour after!

There's always an audience.  LOL!

This was such a cool set-up.

Dhash, Sheryl, and John (from Pennsylvania)...

Sheryl and John were joined by their son, Alec...

Roommates from Suite #0937...

Bring in the Chanderlands!

Awaiting the entrance of the newlyweds...

The Agostis...

Cutting the cake...

Me...

Awww...

Both fathers would have loved to have been here.

"Let's eat!"

Some others want to eat too!

My plate...

Oh man,

Milhojas!

Joe was the first to get-up to say a speech.

Followed by Mel,

Anthony,

and Mrs. Chand.

Wedding cake!  It was good too!

Speeches from Bobo...

and Brown Sugar...

Time to dance!

Smeeta and Bindy hangin' by the bar...

Luca showed me how it's done.

Smeeta and Subir were a fun couple.

See?

Smitten with Smeeta!

Back at the disco lounge,

the kids were partying.

Sisters, Mary and Julie were looking pretty hot!

"Hello.  What have we here?"

LOL!  It's Kelly and she was bummed because her pals promised to go into town, but reneged.  :-(

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Pauline and Rich!!!  :-)
