Leal.
“Sounds like a plan. Meet you at the kayaks in ten minutes!”
Leal found Kevin and Carrie finishing up in the open dining hall. Kevin looked up expectantly when he saw Leal approaching their table.
“Bryce is telling the boatmen that they don’t have to wait,” Leal relayed the message.
“Oh, that’s great!” cooed Carrie.
“I have a few questions for you,” said Leal as he sat down across from the two cousins.
“Oh…ok,” said Carrie looking at Kevin.
“What kind of camera will you be using? Digital or film?” he asked.
“I can do either, which do you think they would prefer?” she asked relieved.
“ I don’t think that matters, but here is the deal, if you use digital, we get the sim card, if you use film, the film stays with us,” he said looking her in the eye.
“I usually include the touch ups and photo shopping in the package…”she started to explain.
“Either that works for you, or you don’t take the pictures,” he said shrugging his shoulders.
Carrie looked at Kevin again and he gave a barely noticeable nod. “No problem. You’ll get all the undeveloped film and the sim card.”
“Good, now you can let Seanna know how much time you will need to do the pictures and if you want to do any before the ceremony,” Leal said as he got up from the table.
By the time the women were totally relaxed from their spa experience and their ladies lunch they were ready to begin the decorations. Samantha had already secured a few staff members to give them a hand. They were in the process of gathering everything together and the guys still had not arrived. Seanna volunteered to go and round them up knowing they’d need some taller people and some muscles. She was just about to the first cabana when she spotted what looked like a familiar tall blond snapping pictures on the beach. I wonder if that is one of Kate’s granddaughters. She didn’t have to wonder for long because she met Kevin heading her way.
“Hey, you look like you had a relaxing day!” he said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“It was nice,” she smiled and took his hand. “Hey do you know who that girl is on the beach?”
“That’s Carrie,” he said looking to where she was taking pictures of the water.
“Carrie,” she said, her eyebrows pulling together. “You mean your cousin?”
“Remember the surprise? Carrie is the surprise,” he replied calmly.
“What are you talking about?” asked Seanna as she stopped walking.
“Carrie is a photographer. You mentioned that there wasn’t going to be one, so I asked her to come and do the pictures. It will be my wedding present to your Mother.”
“Oh my word! Does Daffyd know she is here?” Seanna said panicking.
“Of course he does. What’s the matter…I thought you’d be happy,” he sounded hurt.
“Daffyd hates to have his picture taken. That’s why they never booked a photographer and hates having strangers around…” she said shaking her head.
“ She isn’t a stranger, Seanna, she’s my cousin.”
“It was a big deal for me to even bring you, they are just getting to know you. Are you sure Daffyd didn’t freak?” she asked.
“Leal said that as long as Carrie gave him the film and the sim card it was all good. What kind of people don’t want pictures of their wedding?” he asked shifting the conversation.
“People who appreciate their privacy, why didn’t you talk to me about this first?” she demanded.
“I honestly didn’t think it would be such a big deal,” he answered with his voice raised.
“Who paid her way, and who’s paying for her room and board,” Seanna asked with her eyebrows raised.
“We split the ticket, she’s
