Is the young couple going to live in Santa Cruz? If so, may I warn your fair skinned daughter about the brutal sun on the beach there? Brutal. I’ve lost 2 cousins to melanoma as a result. One was a natural blonde and one was a natural redhead. Lest you think it was familial — they were from 2 sides of my family.
For some reason that my family has never figured out, the sun at Santa Cruz seems to be magnified. It burns faster and deeper than in any other part of the country. Perhaps it’s the breeze that’s constantly blowing and it’s easy to forget how long you’ve been out because you never really get hot.
The wedding was in Santa Cruz, but they live in San Jose. She no longer tans. She was happy to have no tan lines to worry about on her wedding day. Her husband tans up from any exposure. I expect after their honeymoon he will be darker.
