Sabina and Philip’s wedding was supposed to happen right in the middle of a global shutdown – May 2020 to be exact. It was postponed again to a time when we all thought everything was going to be fine, but as the last two years have shown us, nothing is ever certain.

What Covid has taught us is that the world can stop but love goes on.

A year and a half after their original wedding date, friends and family from around the world came together on this Little Rock in the middle of the ocean for Sabina and Philip. They cried as they watched Sabina and her dad walk down the aisle of the circular church, St. Dominics Cathedral, and they cheered for them as Sabina and Philip walked up that aisle, finally, husband and wife.

At Marshmallow Villa, Sabina’s dad gave the most heartfelt, yet hilarious speech I’d ever heard – how he managed to mix laughter and tears is a skill I’d love to learn. 

The entire melting pot of friends and family danced the night away under the stars. Sabina’s friend surprised her with a song she sang to her, shots connected to thrown-back heads, and bodies moved in ways that put a smile on everyone’s faces. 

This was the true meaning of a celebration.. 

Thank you so much for inviting me in to witness this beautiful day.
