Crystal + Mike played an awesome game at their reception… kinda a “who knows who best” kinda thing. They each had his/her shoes in their hands and the DJ asked questions then you raise the shoe for the person that best fits the answer. Best question of the night was hands down “who is more likely to say no to some hanky panky first” – okay my wording may be a little off here but you get the idea. They both got that answer right and everyone started cracking up. It was really funny!

Fun story here. While out on the beach doing our sunset pictures Crystal notices this group singing songs and just generally hanging out on the beach. So at first she got this idea of Mike heading over to borrow their guitar as a prop for some pictures. I think they thought he was slightly crazy for asking. But as he is over there talking to them Crystal and I start saying how funny would it be to just have them join the group for some pictures. Of course Crystal is such a trooper and goes right over and asks if they can just sit with them for a bit. Funny enough they are totally up for it. They went ahead and sung them a song as I snapped away. Then before they left the group asked if they could bless their marriage – how cool is that?!? So they gathered around them and prayed for them. It was a really touching moment and so unexpected.
