Well, ladies and gents just thought I would drop a line and fill everyone in.
Heather, Austin and me went with close family to Mustang Island/ Port Author and were married on the beach in front of Port Royal Resort, July 9th 2006. Two days before the entire island was severely flooded with heavy rains. When we arrived people were still cleaning up and we had a little rain on and off.
After getting settled we went to work getting ready for the wedding. Friday night we had the rehearsal followed by the (guess what) rehearsal dinner. We cooked out and made everyone steaks, chicken, and lots of food Texas style. We cleaned up when it went dark and the Texas native bird came out - the mosquito. They were everywhere after all the rain on the island.
Next evening after preparing the beach, racking the sand, putting up chairs, putting in potted plants, glass votives, removing the seaweed and small children we were ready. It was a lovely evening, and as the wind blew over the beach and at sunset we were married by a family friend who is a minister. We walked down our short isle and the lovely ceremony was over. Congratulations came from all around including people on the beach, the small informal on watches, and people driving by.
Then came the photographs- holly cow. After taking pictures with my family, her family, both families, brides maids, the guys, my parents, her parents and everyone else we finally finished up at dusk. Last photos was us standing in the water, at dusk having our picture taken- pretty romantic. All we left was the phrase H loves A in the sand by the sea.
Well, as we strolled back up the boardwalk I gave Heather her wedding present- princess cut diamond earrings to match her wedding ring. Once we were back at the room everyone was waiting with food, drinks, and many toasts to our new adventure together above and below the water. It was a magical evening.
Later, that evening we cleaned up, boxed up and where ready to go in the morning. We needed to drive back to Keller Sunday, so we could do laundry and get ready to leave Monday at 5:30 am for Cozumel Mexico. Gee- can we dive there
. Oh Yeah baby. But that is another trip report.

Later, Andrew, Heather and Austin
