Tiffany and Jared’s gorgeous Jamaica wedding was featured on the Southern Weddings Magazine Blog! This is one of my favorite wedding blogs, and I’m so excited to have my work featured!

Here’s the post!

Yes. I am from California… and so East Coast beaches seem a little strange to me. Many of them are not swimmer friendly, and often times, they are way over crowded in the summer, when they are. I come from a place where you can go to the beach any time of the year. The Beach is my preferred siesta place, in which to celebrate friends and various holidays, especially New Years. And so, this Christmas in Plymouth, we found our selves at the beach… but it was so cold I could only snap a couple of photos before I felt so cold it seemed as though all the warmth had gone from the world. I had a large black shawl wrapped around my head like a bedoiun, with freezer burn creeping into my brain through the freezing wind in my ears. 

Everyone else seemed cold, but they took it in stride. I was having a rough time. But then, I saw Ruby. What jubilation, the dog, and the beach. it was maybe 2 degrees with the wind chill, and here was the happiest creature I ever saw, jumping into the arctic waters as if she needed to cool off, basking in the freezing wind like she was getting a tan. Oh Ruby. Many things, but at the beach? She warmed my Christmas.

I hope all your Christmases, Hanukkahs, Kwanzaas or general Snowy or Rainy Holi or un-Holi-days were warm with family and friends, and perhaps some jubilant animals!
