Happy 1st year Anniversary to Verde and Alison!

I can't believe it's already been a year since my cousin got married to a lovely Italian lady. I just want to greet them on their 1st year anniversary (civil wedding). :-) The beach wedding was held almost month after.
I'd like to share some photos I took during a sunset ceremony by the beach in Puerto Rico. It was a fun destination wedding and plus I had never been to Puerto Rico.
It was a lovely afternoon to have a wedding. We were worried about the weather for awhile but then the rain came just right after the ceremony. It was a real blessing.
