at last

I've been having trouble...trouble finding the right words to describe this wedding day.  I keep going back to the photos, hoping fuel some type of poetic magic, but I come up empty.  I've come to a conclusion that it is hard to find words when.....

this is the view walking down the aisle;

and this is what everyone has been waiting for;

and this is "thank you mommy";

and this is "I love you daddy";

and this is "I do";

and this is a barefoot, beach cocktail hour;

and this just makes me laugh;

and this is the esperanza;

and these are the spirits...be it shaken, stirred, on the rocks, with a twist of lime or just shot; 

and these are the proud parents from that place I call home and their children;

and these are just some of the guests;

and these are the beat fighters;

and this is the bride and groom fighting their own beats;

and this...well, this is Danielle and Paul.

Oh...and this is a little motion picture with one hundred and eighty of my favorite snapshots from this day.

Can't wait for the empire state wedding!!
