A day at the beach

These are awesome!  We used them for my friends beach wedding and they were absolutely divine.  They come in red and black for the guys and pink and white for the girls.  When u walk in the sand they leave behind the wording just married printed in the sand.  These were also so divine for the photos.  And divine to go on beach destination honeymones!!!
