Hot off the press...
La Cruz,
Costa Rica,
Feb. 12, 2007. |
|
|
|
Darina and Kurt, |
|
|
|
|
having met in China, |
|
|
|
started
going out in Andorra, |
|
|
|
commuted
between Barcelona |
|
|
|
and St.Gallen, |
|
|
|
lived in
Switzerland, |
|
|
|
and cycled
Europe |
|
|
|
and South America, |
|
|
|
|
decided
Costa Rica would be
as good a spot as any...
to tie the auld knot! |
| |
|
|
The area
around La Cruz on the Pacific coast, short before the Nicaraguan border,
is a beautiful corner of Costa Rica that hasn't been developed... yet!
There, a
cute little
beach, with spectacular sunsets and a few resident pelicans and parrots
among the rocks and tamarind trees, provided the perfect backdrop to
take the plunge. |

Liam, Claire, Darina and Kurt |
We were honoured when our good cycling friends Claire and
Liam agreed to be our witnesses at the
wedding
ceremony.
|
| |
|
|
If only, you knew! |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Still young,
free and single! |
| |
|
Liam, Claire, Kirsten, Bob and Kurt |
Claire organized Bob and Kirsten to be our chauffeur and
wedding cake creator respectively,
and as we rocked down to the beach we
were entertained by the hilarious account of how Kirsten had to hitch a
ride to their own wedding ceremony 23 years ago! |

Sí, acepto (I do) |

|
Marlon, our celebrant |
we exchanged coconut shell rings and Marlon, our
celebrant... |
|
|
|
...pronounced us man and wife. |
You may kiss the bride! |
| |
|
Local red snapper |
The night’s festivities continued at the local restaurant
where we enjoyed ceviche and red snapper for dinner. |
| |
|
Kirsten’s delicious carrot cake was a hit with everyone
present and went down
very
well with our landlady, Esther’s Italian
champagne. |

Van Morrison vibes |
After hitting the dance floor, we strolled home along the
phosphorescent-lit beach and under a perfect starlit sky to … the
beginning of the rest of our lives!
