A Mainland, a Ferry and a mysterious Island - cue the music, I see the Others - I'm on LOST!

Ok, so yes, I'm refusing to watch the new LOST episodes until I have all 8 on TIVO so I can watch them back to back, and I'm distracted because it's so tempting to watch, lol. All this takes me back a few months to Dawn & Ben. You'll recall Dawn from a few blogs posts ago about an awesome bridal shoot with Dawn (scroll down a bit on the blog and you'll see) - and several people have been asking about how her wedding went, so I thought I'd let you know :) -
The wedding was fantastic. It was this past October at Bald Head Island off the coast of North Carolina. They had several really nice beach front homes rented out where everyone was staying. As the girls got ready in the morning, the guys, true to form, were playing touch football on the beach - ha! The ceremony and reception were both at the Shoal's Club, which had a beautiful deck overlooking the Atlantic with neatly placed white wooden foldout chairs, and an amazing clubhouse overlooking a gracious pool for the dinner and reception. The band playing the music was fantastic, and even Dawn's dad made a guest singer showing for a good Mustang Sally! And I can't forget the ever wonderful skills of Rachel Murno of Bridal by the Sea, who's coordinating skills pulled it all together, and more importantly, made sure to force me to sit down and eat something for dinner, lol.
If you ever get a chance to go to Bald Head, definitely do it. There are no cars, so its either rent a bike or a golf cart (I definitely recommend the cart, its a big island, even if the Others are not chasing you down!). And watch out at night - I can attest first hand to the "excitement" factor of driving a cart - well, being a passenger of a cart - being driven at full speed, in the dark (there are no lights on the island) up and down, around the curves, desperately trying to make the last call of the Ferry (the only way off the island - yes, I know, this is really sounding a lot like LOST) while avoiding random people crossing the tiny road, or other carts who have more fun driving with their lights off!
