Our good friends Amy Jones & Julio Gomez
tied the knot in Destin, FL on Sunday the 21st of May 2006. We had a
wonderful weekend of relaxation on the beach and a great time at the
wedding. It was a very nice weekend and we would recommend Destin as
a great vacation spot to anyone.

|
 |
 |
| We had a condo at Destin Pointe, a nice little private
community |
This was our view from the balcony with the pool below and the gulf beyond |
| |
|
 |
 |
| The sand was like sugar |
|

| Here we were touring sand dunes at a state
park |

Eric just has to get up on rocks even if they are in a pile |

 |
We found a great little church called Shoreline Church on Sunday morning,
then we went for lunch overlooking the bay and had this picture taken.
|
| A rare site - Eric relaxed |

Another picture in my "Put your feet up" series
- I like to capture the exact
view I had at various times. This one was pretty good. |
Now we are at the Hilton Sandestin, the location of the wedding.

Julio was entertaining the guests in the lounge before the wedding.
Here he is with Barbara Tillotson. She has agreed to be his 'movie
date,' saving Amy from having to attend scary movies with him. |
| |
|
 |
 |
Our friend Ritchie Wayland was one of 4 guests who
came all the way from Europe to attend the wedding |
We hadn't seen our ConocoPhillips friends in ages.
Here are two now: Jenny Thompson and Doreen West. |

Ritchie was kind enough to share his pics with me.
Here's one of Eric and I heading for the beach for the ceremony. |

I love this picture of my handsome husband.

Here are Eric & Ritchie,
unshod and ready to
watch the big event.
Notice the cloud that
looks like a bird above. |
 |
| |
It looks like Julio is getting a pep talk. He is probably
counseling
him not to yell at the hecklers in the crowd (we thought we were funny.) |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Doreen was taking pictures for Cherie Stallings who could
not attend. |

We met these two in a van in New Orleans
when we were there for Amy's bachelorette
get-together. Amy invited them that day
and they came. How cool is that?!!
Amy makes friends this way a LOT.
|
I didn't get the name of this groomsman, he
is escorting Amy's sister Jordan. |

 |
| Amy & her Dad making the grand
entrance - she looked beautiful |
Ritchie said, "I've never seen her wearing make up before!!" |
| |
|
|
|
Everyone knows that Amy is a die-hard Auburn fan.
At the start of the service the pastor pulled out his
University of Tennessee hat to give her a hard time. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Checking to make sure none of us have any objections |
Now for the good part - the kiss! |
| |
|
 |
 |
| He now pronounces them man and wife |
I think they're happy, don't you? |

We can't decide if they are saving her from choking or forcing her
to
give the Pledge of Allegiance. |

A very lively conversation

Ritchie - he has no regrets on flying from
the UK for a weekend. He's the man! |
