That Wedding was BANANAS!

    I know every family has one of those "wacky" relatives, but in my husband's family there are several.  (Un)fortunately, my husband is the wacky ringleader, with his brother following closely behind.  I could tell "Marvin" stories all day, but his most recent shenanigans take the (wedding) cake!

   Our niece recently got married on the same beach where Marvin and I married; it has a big historic fort and is usually pretty quiet.  As you can probably tell, in our family "niece" and "nephew" doesn't necessarily mean child even though I am not-quite-thirty! Our niece grew up more like a cousin to Marvin and they have a very dynamic relationship!

     During the ceremony, several Japanese Destroyers cruised pass, as well as some military helicopters making us question if we were being invaded.  We weren't, haha.
                                                                               
Marvin and his brother also felt it was very important to document the male lifeguard working on the beach.     Because that's the thing everyone wants to remember, right?

                         







     Marvin came prepared to the wedding- not only was the card he picked unusual (it was a get well card that had a scantily clad man who shared the same name as the groom and a very old man), but he brought his banana suit.  Not every woman has a husband who randomly dresses in costume, but I was blessed with such a wonderful man!

     Marvin proceeded to run out to the beach, to tackle the bride who was relaxing (the best part of a beach wedding is the beach reception, right?).  Actually, he skipped part of the way.  Yes, if you were at the beach the other day, my husband was the 7-foot-tall banana with a beard!   Somehow, my husband managed to pull tendons/ligaments in both heels doing this, and ended up unable to walk later that evening.  He couldn't bear any weight on either foot.

    So my husband (who never calls out) stayed home from work.  The reason he had to call out?  He hurt both of his feet dressing up like a banana and tackling the bride on the beach!
