Here’s to September’s Tropical Storm Irene.

I know the dangers of hurricanes are obvious to most everyone; except radical surfers and weather channel reporters, but I have lived here in the Virgin Islands long enough to know you also take seriously the potential dangers of heavy winds and rain that are a Tropical Storm.  Not Ken & Jody, however.  Since Saturday the 10th was very important to them, they were going to get married that day no matter what.  Me?  I really didn’t want to get wet but, more importantly, I wanted to give them beautiful sunny Caribbean wedding photos.  Despite all the worries, it turned out to be the best time of that day to get married at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort.  It was sunny and clear and so beautiful, in fact, that as I pulled up to the resort I found myself saying “Irene who?  What Tropical Storm?”.  Needless to say, but I will anyway, the wedding was sunny and beautiful and we got out of there just in time.  Well, almost anyway.  I took that last shot with a long lens from under cover at Iggies as they smiled and kissed oblivious to the deluge.  Which supports one of my many theories:  ”It doesn’t really matter where you are when you are with the one you love.”  I then ran to my truck, getting as soaked as I had expected, because I was in a hurry to get home to the one I love.

Cheers to Ken & Jody
