I have to admit that writing this post is difficult. With that statement, you might be asking "why?" Well, this post is about the marriage that took place in, hands down, the most beautiful place I have ever been, and also with one of the...
Life is all about time, or rather the lack of, right? Time is always the most scarce resource, even if you have all the time in the world, others around you, or even mother nature does not.

It's a beach house, tucked right on the beach, and all you hear are the waves as they crash over the black rock formations and sand.
