We moved from San Juan del Sur town out to stay in a hostel called Matilda´s out on the surf beach with great intentions of catching our first barrel (for those of you who know my athletic ability, you can tell how successful that effort was!). It takes 45 minutes on a dirt track to get out there and there´s virtually nothing out on those beaches so it was absolute bliss for 4 days of sunrise and sunset surfs, filling the sweltering middle hours of the day devouring books in a hammock. 
A couple of hours after we arrived we saw a guy walk in to the hostel with a big bunch of flowers. Dave asked him if he was in trouble or something, his replied ´no dude, I´m getting married at 5 o´clock). So that´s how we met Dwayne & Tracy and ended up at their wedding on the beach. In fact Dave got seconded as their photographer!
So after exchanging vows, with the help of a local to direct them through, they were married and we spent the rest of the evening, chilling out around a bonfire under the stars with everybody 
else from the hostel who ended up being part of the wedding party too. No, we didn´t get any ideas of doing anything similar, as saccharine sweet as it was, it wouldn´t be my way of getting hitched...I´d be too sad that my family and friends weren´t there to share it with me. It definitely was a very special day.
