The first time I met Meredith and Zach we were standing on Crystal Pier in down pouring rain. As we stood huddled up against the restaurant I could sense their concern. This is definitely not the way I want to meet any bride and groom. Yes, occasionally beach weddings do get rained out, but believe it or not this rarely happens. The rain usually clears or we get a break in the clouds long enough to squeeze in the ceremony. Fortunately this isolated shower wasn’t enough to deter this couple from having a seaside ceremony.
A few short weeks later it was time to say “I do,” so back to the Oceanic we went. In true August style it was hot, but completely dry. In fact it turned out to be a great beach day. The restaurant was packed, but the patrons were super polite. Many crowded the rail with cell phones in hand hoping to snap 
a cute picture of the bride and groom. Standing on the beach not a peep could be heard from the busy crowd standing on the pier above. However that all changed at the conclusion of the ceremony when wedding guests and restaurant patrons joined together with celebratory cheers as the couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
