The BEST part of Leah and Pete's wedding was witnessing their love for each other. But the SECOND best thing about their wedding was discovering the beautiful little paradise called Spring Lake, New Jersey! It's a sweet little town on the Jersey shore that is absolutely charming. The streets are tree-lined and quiet, and the light in the afternoon is golden.
The Flood's guests enjoyed a long weekend at the beach. There was so much beachfront to explore! I woke up early and strolled the boardwalk with other early risers in town, who seemingly all were walking cute dogs and all waved hello.
On the day of the wedding, I woke up in our Bed and Breakfast, the wonderful Hewitt Wellington, hearing all the laughter and splashing of the kids, already up at the pool! It was fun to see how wanted and incorporated the children were in the wedding festivities. At the rehearsal dinner, the kids all gave advice for being married! Complete with handmade signs. How adorable!?
And then - it was time to begin the day!
The wind was in full swing! It kept swooping in to join the party, taking us totally by surprise! I loved the spontaneous hilarity it caused, and was happier with every gust.
Wahoo for Leah and Pete!
