I’d like to think that I’ve got determination,
and I’m fiercely protective of the people I love.
~ Andrew Lincoln
“And now it’s my honor and pleasure to welcome the two people we’re
all here to support and cheer for, our island’s own: Kalaine Kapule
and Bodhi Merrick. Give it up for these two!”
From his spot on the stage, Cameron gestures his hand toward our table
as my sister and my best friend stand, scooting their chairs out and locking
eyes with one another before Bodhi puts his hand on my sister’s back to
escort her onto the platform.
We’re seated at tables covered in white tablecloths. Twinkle lights sway
overhead on strings between palm trees. Candles and tiki torches reflect in a
soft glow over the surface of the pools around the edge of this back patio at
Alicante Resort.
The crowd claps politely, and Ben, my employee at the watersports
shack here at the resort, places his fingers in his mouth and whistles long
and hard. Then, from his spot across the table from me, he shouts, “Let’s
hear it for the it couple of surfing!”
Our table erupts into laughter. I can’t help but crack a smile.
Ben’s outburst serves as a catalyst, and the crowd shifts from behavior
matching our formal attire to howls and shouts far more fitting the true
beach-surf community camouflaged beneath our tuxedos and gowns.
Bodhi takes the mic from Cameron. His hand remains on Kalaine’s
back. He catches my sister’s eyes again and they share a private smile—one
I’ve had to get used to over the years they’ve been dating, and especially
now that they are engaged with a wedding mere months away.
“Thank you!” Bodhi shouts, which draws another wave of cheers from
the crowd. “We’re so grateful all of you came out tonight. It’s pretty crazy
seeing my best friend in anything but board shorts and a pair of flip-flops,
unless he’s going in for his weekly business meeting in the main building.
So, for that alone, I thank you.”
The crowd rewards Bodhi with a collective laugh. He smiles his
trademark winsome smile in return. A few people at my table and the
surrounding seats glance over at me in acknowledgment, so I spread my
arms out to show off the fact that, yes, I’m wearing a tux.
“Mavs—Kalaine—and I will always hold Marbella close to our heart.
This island is the place we made our way back to one another, and to
surfing. So, as we go out, sponsored by Rip Curl and Roxy—I have to say
that, so there you have it. If any of our sponsors are watching the live feed
… check.”
The crowd laughs again. I suppress an eye roll. We’ve all been
sponsored. When I was competing as a pro-surfer, I did the dance too.
Bodhi and Kalaine are so big now, companies drool over the opportunity to
have their names attached to these two. Still, there’s the puppetry you have
to engage in, letting sponsors pull the strings while you perform.
