From Asbury to the Ft. Myers' Pier

Last weekend we were lucky enough to reconnect with two friends from college. Caresse and Clayton both went to Asbury college with Sam and me. A month ago we just happened to sit at the same table as Caresse's parents and sister at a wedding we were photographing. They told us Caresse and Clayton were about to be engaged and then 2 weeks later we saw both Clayton and Caresse at church. Asbury College is in Kentucky, so to see them all the way down in SW Florida was really unexpected.

We took the pictures at Fort Myers Beach by the pier. We started around 8am so that it wouldn't be too hot, but by the time we were done we were all dripping with sweat. Later that night we stopped in at an engagement party for Caresse and Clayton. Everyone there wrote down a question to ask Clayton. Poor guy. This was his first time meeting most of these people and he was having to answer all sorts of personal and merciless questions in front of them all. He did a great job. After the questions of torture, everyone had cake. There were three kinds: coconut, chocolate fudge, and ummm.... I can't remember the last. Unfortunately I'm allergic to wheat so I can't eat cake, but it looked soooooo good. I had Sam eat extra on my behalf. I ate a bunch of peanuts and about 10 of these little chocolate truffle things. It's always so fun to catch up with people you haven't seen in a while and hear what's going on in there life. Our best wishes and congratulations to Caresse and Clayton!
