Family: July 2006 Archives

I just wanted to write an entry to thank my family in France for the AMAZING video that they put together for our wedding. For those of you who don't know by now, I have a huge family in France (and Holland, too) -- and because of the distance and timing, only a few cousins could make it to the wedding in Mexico. Since my grandmother, Mannick, my mom's 8 brothers and sisters, their spouses, and kids couldn't make it... they decided to put together a video montage of messages from each of the families to send us their best wishes. Martine and her family were in charge of the production work and Folkert and Penelope did a great job with editing and music and everything.

Our wedding week on Isla Mujeres was so fantastic! We started the week with almost twenty people arriving Sunday. Every following day was like Christmas, having our great friends and family trickling in. It was so special to have all our guests take a vacation with us. We had planned so many excursions, but once we got to the beach at Na Balam, we couldn't seem to pry ourselves out of the water! Soon we'd settled into a nice routine of rolling out to bed, heading to the beach, making our way to the Loncheria for lunch, having a siesta, and heading back to the beach for the afternoon before all meeting up in the evening for dinner.
