During our honeymoon, my wife and I went on two guided snorkeling trips. Our first, with Cruz Bay Watersports, took us to Lovongo Cay just outside the boundaries of the national park. There our new underwater camera failed, the second one I’ve “lost” in the Caribbean (The first is at the bottom of the Bio Bay on Vieques.). The next day, we took an all-day snorkel sail with Captain Jamison and the crew of the Kekoa. Jamison happened to have the same Canon camera that I was carrying, and he happened to have the nice underwater case for it. And he just happened to let me borrow it for our snorkels off Mary Point and in Leinster Bay near Waterlemon Cay. These photos are from those two snorkels.

Reception No. 1 in Photos
On our wedding day, we held a reception at the Wildwood Inn in Denton. We had rented out the hotel for the night of and night before the wedding. We had taken most of our photos before the ceremony, but we had a few to take at the end. So we arrived about half an hour after most of our guests.

Our Wedding Ceremony in Pictures
Here are some highlights of the wedding ceremony itself. The ceremony began precisely at 5:30 p.m. on the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. In Denton, Texas, it was sunset, and the last rays of the setting sun shone through the west-facing stained glass windows.

Before the Wedding
Here are some highlights of wedding day photos, taken by Karen Scruggs and her excellent assistant. Lisa was already thoroughly photographed before my first turn before the cameras. Since we were going to escort each other down the aisle, and take photos beforehand, we decided to have a formal “First Look” moment for my first view of my bride.

The Toast
My best man Brett quoted Edward Abbey in his toast to the bride and groom:
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets’ towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottoes of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you — beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.

I Will
Jeff, will you love Lisa as no other and share all that you are with her?
Will you honor her goals and dreams, help her achieve them and hold her accountable to her success?
Will you respect her, support her, be her best friend and soulmate, and love her unconditionally?
Will you take Lisa to be your wife, through health and sickness, through rain and drought, through joy and sorrow, through peace and turmoil, through achievement and loss, through pride and disappointment, through the seasons and the years, over the miles and the horizons, now and forever, until the last step of your journey on this earth?
I will.
