A wedding in paradise - June 2010

We pulled Ailey out of school to attend the wedding of our friends Patrick and Vesper in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. During English finals week no less. When Ailey heard that meant a 20% penalty on her finals scores, she was adamant against attending. So we did what any caring parent would do...we lied.



















Ailey prepared a beautiful wedding card that we unfortunately couldnt deliver until after the honeymoon.








The esquisite environs of the rehearsal dinner.


The setting of the most perfectly planned and orchestrated wedding ever.


The ring bearer was none other than Steeno himself.

...catch some world cup soccer...



...and visit the nearby Water Temple
