Heading to the Philadelphia Internal Airport, me and my girlfriend are all smiles knowing were departing Philly to arrive eleven hours later in the “Rainbow” state. We’re finally here picking up our luggage from baggage claim we feel the warm air from outside and Alan yelling over here girls! We laugh and approach him, see we sat next to Alan on the flight from Dallas to Hawaii. He talked to us the whole flight, played monopoly on my IPad very competitively I might add, and he thought us how to play Sudoku. As our flight was landing he asked us if we need a ride back to our hotel. Thinking back on it, it probably wasn’t a good idea but we were living in the moment and just very happy and excited to be there. We check into our hotel rested until the next day. On December 29th we received our marriage license. December 30th finally came and was the day that would change everything for us. The anxiety/ adrenaline that ran through our bodies as we became closer to the time was nerve racking lol. This is the moment we would step into a union together. The moment we would take a leap of faith; The day we became selfish and we would say ours vows to each other. Its 5pm and the sunsets in Maui on Sugar beach in Kihei. As we approach the beach we remove our sandals. I love to feel the sand between my toes. Nessa and I lock hands as we walk towards the ocean and watch the sky change into these beautiful colors. Hey guys look over here I would like to capture these shots. Its Kevin and Joe the photographer and ordain minister. We pose for several pictures as we prepare for the exchanging of our vows. Twenty minutes later I was officially a Burgess, officially a wife, officially one with who I wanted to be with, my best friend, left hand and life time partner.
