Educator LaMonde Woods was back in class at the Berkeley Institute after a month-long honeymoon in the Caribbean and Canada with his bride, the former Nicole Smith of Scaur Hill, Somerset.

They were married on August 5, aboard the liner Freedom of the Seas, in the presence of scores of relatives and friends who journeyed to Miami for the nuptial.

Nicole is the daughter of Sheldon Smith and Joan Robinson of Scaur Lane, Somerset. She is a second-year accounting student at Northampton College, Pennsylvania.

She was born in New York, grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and spent her summers in Bermuda visiting her grandmother, the late Ardelle (Della) Place of Somerset. Her father Sheldon is a pilot with Bermuda Air Ambulance Service.
