Nate and Helen went through the wringer with their wedding planning. Swine flu nearly derailed the wedding, they briefly considered moving the wedding to Florida, and some people decided not to come to Mexico. And it didn't help that the swine flu was named H1N1 (get it, Helen and Nate?). Thank goodness the CDC lifted their recommendation against travel to Mexico the week before the wedding.
The wedding was on the beach and it was perfect. Nate looked relaxed and happy. Helen was stunning. Best of all, the scheduled rain did not come down until well after the wedding and reception on the beach.
CJ was the only child to attend the wedding. He and Maki looked cute in their matching blue shirts. He got a little bored during the ceremony so he and Grandma Linda moved to a nearby umbrella and CJ played in the sand. CJ loves sand. He can spend hours running his fingers through sand, dumping sand into shoes and other containers, burying things in the sand, yada, yada.
The reception was at the Jambalaya restaurant at the Iberostar. The speeches were hilarious and touching. The dancing was super hot -- Nate and Helen's friends all take salsa lessons, yow! CJ hung out with Grandma Linda and Grandpa Tak back in our room. It felt really special to be part of such a beautiful and intimate affair.

Don't the boys look cute in their matching khakis and blue shirts?

Have you ever seen a more beautiful couple?
