Above: Spring Break 1990. Below: Winter 2018. These Are The Girls Who Were With Me In The Mall When I Bought The Ring In My Bikini
Same girls, same pose, almost 30 years later. We haven’t all been together in years. We had dinner recently and laughed about that bikini moment, and I found out they had saved the pictures! Thank you for capturing it! And thank you for the support, then and now... Girlfriends give you courage you didn’t know you had. We tried to recreate the classic spring break photo... Only difference is we ALL NEED A TAN! (and a few more wrinkles).
