Do you remember that surprise I mentioned earlier? Yes, finally
you can know. Kris had the idea for the five of us to put together a
song about the different things we remember when we think
about Marcela and sing it instead of a giving a speech. We sang
it to the tune of "Maria" from The Sound of Music. It was really fun!

     Congratulations, Marcela and Austin! I'm so, so happy for y'all, and it was such a privileged to be part of y'alls special day! God bless you!

     So, that, Friends, was my trip to Cancun!! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute there, catching up with my friends, getting to see one of them walk the isle, and getting to stay at the beach. The photos where used by permission of the Bride and credits go to the Grooms sister, Carol Anne and Marcee Alten. I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of my trip.
