Canouan Island Wedding Part II

It is fun having this much time to spend on a wedding. Usually I only have time to post a few quick images on my blog.

So....when I last left off - Ruth's luggage was MIA. It did finally arrive much, much later thank goodness!

I think I mentioned in my last post that each villa came with a golf cart, so we had a great time riding around and checking everything out. There are so many turtles on the island!


I loved the little pools in front of these beautiful, hillside villas! Raffles Resort is a fabulous place to stay.










After touring the resort area and getting in some beach time, we went to Synda's villa to hang out with her and the bridesmaids for a while. This images shows Synda coming out of her room to show off her wedding gown. The television crew is filming the reaction she gets.

Television crew? That's right - everything from this wedding was caught on film! This wedding was filmed for the Style Network's television show called Married Away. Keep an eye out for the show this fall - I will let you know when it airs.






This shot of Synda's mom checking out her dress is one of my favorites. Her face says the dress is perfect!


I love this shot of Synda after everyone left and we were talking about how things had been going. Synda has a beautiful smile and was so much fun to spend time with!


More pictures to come soon!

Canouan Island Wedding Part 1

Ruth and I headed to the airport at 3:30 a.m. yesterday and arrived here at 5:00 p.m. It took a lot of flights to get to Canouan. We went from Atlanta to Miami to San Juan to St. Lucia - and finally to Canouan.

This is what the island looked like from the plane...


Staff from the resort met us at the airport with chilled, scented towels and bottled water. Then they whisked us (and my luggage) away to the resort. Unfortunately...Ruth's luggage didn't make it. Although I'm so glad mine did arrive, I'm a little jealous of the emergency kit the resort gave her because she has some cute new clothes from Raffles!


We are staying at Raffles Resort, and it is super nice. This image shows a view of the resort area from the balcony of our room on the hill.


Each room here also comes with its on golf cart. I thought this golf cart parking area was so cute.


This is one of the restaurants that overlooks a pool where we had dinner last night.


This place is great! If I can talk Brian into packing up and moving down here, I may need to send you all a change of address again soon! :) ha

Stay tuned to see if Ruth's luggage ever arrives.
