The Groomsmen, sporting their pirate costumes, as it was Halloween night!
As we were enjoying the festivities we don't have too many pics from the dinner, but here's Jonathon cutting the first piece of the grooms cake.
What would be more appropriate for a grooms cake than a pirate? Halloween or not.
I realize this picture is kind of hard to see, but it's the two little flower girls playing in the sand away from the bonfire.
Looking back from the bonfire toward where we ate dinner. We dined on green salads with roasted peppers, tomatoes, sliced steak, fish, chicken, potatoes, mushroom soup, and hot rolls. Accompanied with choice beverages, champagne for toasting, and eventually the yummy fudge, light cream cheesy tasting grooms cake.
As the bonfire got revved up so did Mr. Zak Curtis, as I think he was performing some tribal dance in honor of Sarah & Jonathon. No, actually I'm not sure what was going on but, it looked like a cool motion picture.
James, the pirate, and me enjoying ourselves around the bonfire!
Mike, ready with camera in hand...hopefully we'll get to see his photos someday too!
Mr. Cullen, rather graciously told me he'd hold my sunglasses so I didn't have to carry them. I didn't realize he had plans to sport them around like a gangsta! Looked good though, I think he should get a pair! Especially with the pirate earring! ARRGGH!
Checking in with the Bride & Groom, I think the wine was starting to take effect, that or she was a little anxious about the toasts about to occur!
So, being dark & all we took a self-portrait, but then Brian didn't like the first one, so we did another, and then did a third for good measure. I like them all personally. Regardless we had a fabulous time at the bonfire, but we were excitedly awaiting our friends Zak & Christa to arrive on the 10:00 pm ferry!

After Sarah & I sat on the front porch facing the ocean breathing in some fresh sea air, it was time to start getting ready. Lindsay, a friend of Jonathon and Sarah's offered to style our hair for the wedding.
Almost done, Sarah will be glad when all that long hair is out of her face. We turned Sarah's Villa bathroom into a hair salon, Lindsay was styling for about 3 hours. She did an awesome job!
Placing the final pieces in place. Thank goodness God created bobby pins!
Since the bridesmaid dresses are long and flowy, I decided to go with my hair partially up and extra curly. Who ever thought that a flat iron could create such awesome ringlets? Lindsay really knew what she was doing!
Lauren and Casey both decided to sport the "poof" as we call it. Very in right now, and very hot!
Sue and Jane collecting some grub for all of us bridal party folk to munch on while getting ready. 
Philip, feeling just peachy after a long, fun, night after the rehearsal dinner & bonfire.
Sarah, with her cousin Heather, who is Avery's mom, who you'll meet later.
Yeah Rescue ladies! If only we were all back together doing that again!
November 1, 2008 4:00pm a beautiful sunny afternoon on Daufuskie Island. If only this had been a skull & crossbones flag it would have been a perfect symbol for Jonathon on the morning of their wedding. At least the flag made me think of pirates, so we'll go with that. Actually, Brian took this picture and thought it would be funny to sneak it in to all the wedding pictures, but thankfully someone stood in front of it.
Jonathon's Family: Claudia-Mom, Noah-Brother, and his Dad
Philip Carroway, Sarah's brother-in-law Lauren's husband, escorting Mrs. Jane Heath, mother-of-the bride, to her seat.
The Groomsmen & ceremony officiant marching in.
The long wait is almost over... in only a manner of minutes, Jonathon will be the husband of his forever love Sarah!
The walk down the isle from the Inn took two minutes, so I think we all quickened our pace a little to get this show on the road. 
Ashlin Grace, Jonathon's sister, led the bridesmaids down the isle.
I followed Ashlin Grace (or AG as we call her), then came Renee...
Then cousin Ashley, who was also just recently married. Casey, Sarah's youngest sister was behind Ashley, then not pictured unfortunately are the other two lovely sisters Ms. Rachel, and Matron of Honor, Lauren.
This little ring bearer is Avery, one of Sarah's nephews, who we had the privilege of hanging out with when he stayed with Sarah last year for about a week. Avery always gave us a wonderful good morning greeting by shouting, "it's good mornin' time," while dancing around. Don't forget being from North Carolina, he has quite the southern draw, it's very cute!
He was also the ring bearer for Lauren's wedding, but this is the first time he actually got to carry the REAL rings, he was pretty pumped!
The groomsmen, looking mighty handsome in their khaki suits. Their ties all were yellow with seaplanes & palm trees, matching the bridesmaids dresses, but Jonathon had a pink tie with seaplanes & palm trees- his favorite! Jonathon, Hunter, Stephen, Zak, James, Philip, and Noah
Donald asked Sarah if he was walking too fast, and she replied," No, Dad, let's hurry up and get up there!" It definitely didn't take them 2 minutes to walk the isle.
What a smile! And what a backdrop, the Atlantic Ocean, something that's been a big part of their lives. Surfing, kayaking, sailing, etc. 
Donald, performing his father-of-the bride duties "giving away" Sarah to Jonathon. 
The bridesmaid bouquets were not only extremely beautiful, full of rich colors & textures, but were also very aromatic.
More big smiles from the bride & groom.
Maybe it was because they both knew the ceremony was almost over, and now presenting Mr. and Mrs. Jonathon Powell!
Yipee! They finally tied the knot! Time to par-tay!

Picture Time...here we go!
At the end of the isle, we were greeted with hor'dourves including: crab cakes, italian sausage pastry roles, champagne, and various other beverages. The celebration begins!
Close up of Zak...
Brian, Christa, and Zak, all looking fabulous. Even us mountain people can clean up nicely when necessary! The guys traded in their sacred carharts for slacks & rescue t-shirts for button downs and ties. This tells you that this event was very meaningful to them as well!
CHEERS to FRIENDSHIP!
