An Everlasting Memory


When I first saw these photos of the main beach house in Corolla, NC on the Internet, I was in awe. But these photos don't begin to show how beautiful the setting for Sian and Todd's wedding actually was. When I first arrived, it was still daylight and the view was absolutely breathtaking from the third floor of the house. The waves crashing lightly on the beach and the wind blowing softly was truly a wonder.

The weather was perfect - in fact everything was perfect!

In the evening as we ate on the deck there was a chill in the air and the smells of wonderful food which mixed with the scent of the fresh air and ocean. The stars were so clear and bright it felt as if you would reach up and touch them.

As the sun rose in the morning, the red, yellow and orange colors danced across the water as if to say "good morning - what a lovely day ahead". And at night as I lay in bed, I could still feel the cool breeze blowing through the open doors leading to the second level deck as I drifted off to sleep to the sound of the waves gently riding into the shore of the beautiful beach.


The first evening's dinner was served at the other beach house where Dayna and many of the other guests stayed. But from that night on, I spent many hours in the great room you see above located on the third level of the main beach house. The room was full of joy and laughter from family and friends during the Saturday night crab feast, the Sunday wedding preparations and the couple of days that followed. This was truly an event that I shall never forget.
