March 8, 2008 we woke in a beautiful beach house. This house was incredible. It had an elevator, ping-pong table, pool and was located in the much fancier-than-us city of Isle of Palm, SC. The house was big enough to hold 30+ of our closest friends and family and they had all congregated for our wedding on the beach that afternoon. High winds forced a hasty relocation of our ceremony as mouthfuls of sand make for less than romantic memories. Luckily for us, we had our reception planned at Post House Inn which additionally had an outdoor courtyard with plenty of wind protection. Everybody pitched in and the ceremony went off without a hitch. It was the best day of my life and kickstarted a life adventure that leaves us occasionally gasping for air but always wanting more.
