Wedding Day: The Damage

After we had exhausted all the fabulous spots to take pictures, we arrived at Tensing Pen, a little sweaty, a little tired but very very happy.

I think this was Sugar that greeted us upon arrival

The staff at Tensing Pen did such a wonderful job cleaning up the damage, you don’t see any of it in our wedding photos, but J walked around and snapped some pictures of the damage, for memories sake.

The beautiful pool had turned a mucky brown

And then was drained

The roof had been slightly damaged
on the cottage we had been staying in

But the real damage was what was inside

The waves had blown out windows, so there were shards of glass everywhere.

And the beautiful but destroyed hammock hut.

The SeaSong hut where the reception was to take place
was still a little bit watered down.

But compared to what it looked like before,
this was amazing.

After seeing the damage, we realized even more how lucky we were to still have our wedding there, and on such a beautiful day.
