On October 10 2008, my daughter in law Kelli, surprised Chad, (my oldest son) by renewing their wedding vows on the beach. They were married on October 10 1998. Of course Chad had no idea about his surprise, and I had to keep it a secret for over a week. Kelli, Cooper, and her Mom went down on Thursday, October 9, to get everything ready. Chad found out his destination on Friday morning. Kelli did an excellent job keeping it all under tabs. So Chad, Connor, and me, met them at the beach on Friday afternoon. Chad was surprised up until the very last minute. It was a beautiful scene, with the sunset in the background. I feel so lucky that I was able to be a part of this special occasion. Kelli really wanted all of the family to be there, but they had prior commitments. They missed a beautiful setting!
It was also the 37th Annual National Shrimp Festival that weekend. There were tons of people there, as you can see from the photo. I've never been before, it was quite an experience. Hope you enjoyed my first post. There will be many more to come!! Have a great day!!
