Ok, this is a bit strange. I guess to understand it, you have to understand that I'm very close with my father.For the last few years, he's been dating this wonderful woman named Vonda. They got engaged last year, and I made him promise that when he does finally get married, he would let me take care of the photography. It wouldn't be me (since he said he wanted me as one of his groomsmen, along with my brother) but I would have Steph or Callie shoot the wedding.

Today, I get a phone call from my father and he asks if I've checked my email.

Yeah, you guessed it.

Now, first of all, I'm extremely happy for him. Apparently, they managed to plan a wedding in Maui, and even snuck out without any of us knowing. (Vonda has 2 girls, my dad has 2 boys). They flew down to Hawaii last Friday, and they got married last night on the beach at sunset.

I can't believe that he didn't have me there shooting! I told him that I would have been on a plane Sunday had he let me know.

His response: I know, which is why I didn't tell you.

Today it rained on them as they traveled the road to Hana. God's way of telling them they should have let the family in on their little secret. :-)

Well dad, and mom, congrats!

(Dad, when I design your album, I'm going to give you a goiter in every image!)

At least he purchased the negatives. I'll be able to do something for them!

Why is it that when you have such a golden opportunity to take off to a place like Maui, people don't want to "bother" you with it?

Ah well!

Salud!
