Wedding/Vacation Pics from St Lucia

Did I say the sunset/sky was amazing? We don't get anything like this in Toronto!

This is how high we were.....the little building you see at the top is the restaurant deck:

And here is the view we had every time we ate at the restaurant - looking towards Petit Piton:

I have zillions of photos but trying to give a brief overview.

My wedding day was perfect! We had breakfast and there was a light shower. After the shower, a rainbow appeared right before us. It was literally amazing! Since we are in the rainforest, it rains, very briefly, about 2 to 3 times a day. And when I say brief, literally it will rain for a few minutes and then totally clear up.

Here we are getting married - on the deck of the restaurant with Petit Piton in the background:

Signing

Cheers!

I loved the flowers! Beautiful!

Our rings with the flowers:

We also arranged for a private wedding dinner on our villa deck. Here's my handsome husband enjoying dinner.

Beautiful pictures.

I'm so glad that your wedding went smoothly. You both look so happy together. Congrats and I hope you have many happy and healthy years ahead.

I couldn't see some of the pictures so hopefully there'll back up later.

Bruce and I did a Caribbean cruise on our first vacation back in 2003. One of the places we visited was St Lucia. We both loved it more than any other place we went. We said we would come back for our honeymoon (yeah, that's IF we ever get married!) and stay at Sandals.
I was so excited to see your photos of your amazing trip. Thank you so much for sharing with us. And congrats on your wedding.

Beautiful pictures, and it sounds like the perfect day! Thanks for sharing!

I have over 300 pics, so here are a few more to view.

I'm adding this pic so you can see my whole dress here.....I really loved this dress. I actually packed it in the luggage and it arrived fine! And, I purchased it for $99! Deal!

A girl who worked at the resort fell in love with it. I surprised her when I was leaving by giving her the dress! She almost started to cry. The resort is in a very poor part of town and I'm sure she can't make much working at this resort so she can either use it or sell it. I'd rather give the dress to someone who will made use of it rather than have it hang in my closet and collect dust!

The wedding assistant told me to stop in order to take a pic & I was taking a step so my legs look awkward.

The path leading to our villa - you can see how lush the surroundings are in this pic

Now some pics of the villa that we rented. It's called the Frangipani Villa and it really is one of the best one's at the resort. We only had one neighbour to our left and there was a deep ravine on the other side of us.

Our pool lit up at night.

The villa had a series of wooded shutters that had a screen on the outside. So, at night, you could keep all the shutters open to get an amazing breeze. The only problem? The sounds of the rainforest was loud! We brought earplugs but by the second night I loved hearing it.
