Oh I want the truth to be known

- Spandau Ballet "True"

Can I make a suggestion to all the brides and grooms out there looking for a fun, low-stress way of solidifying your union? Mexico! Cancun to be exact. My brother-in-law Jason and his bride Katie invited us all down to Cancun to witness their laid-back nuptials on the shore and it was lovely.

At sunset, to the wafting sounds of Spandau Ballet trickling through from Pancho and Willy's bar, Jason and Katie recited heartfelt vows in front of a small smattering of family. It was beautiful and a perfect kick-off to a week of sun, sand, and relaxation.

They were lucky they got the vows in when they did...as the next musical selection on the Pancho and Willy radio was "Mr. Roboto". Not exactly the pinnacle of romance, but funny just the same.

I had a GREAT time...and I'll be blogging about the vacation itself (with some pics of The Peanut's introduction to the ocean) in a bit. But first, here's a sneak peek of Jason and Katie's Mexican wedding. Enjoy!
