Our Wedding - part 1

Well, we're back!!!!

I have been MIA for a loooong time, busy wrapping up important details for our trip.

I have to first say it was by far the BEST and most AMAZING week of my entire life. Everything was so beautiful and we have TONS of pictures so to cover the whole week it'll take a few posts.

I will first start with the wedding. It's a little backwards but obviously this was the highlight of my week. I really couldn't have asked for anything more perfect and there certainly wasn't anything I would change.

Originally our ceremony was set for 4pm, but it seems to rain there every day, starting about 1-2pm. You could practically set a clock by it! So to avoid being rained out and forced to have our ceremony in a not so ideal place we bumped it up to noon. The staff was SO accommodating. Even with the last minute change (this was changed the day before the wedding) not a single detail was forgotten.

The day before the ceremony Nikki and Matt arrived at the resort, we were so excited to see them! That night we had dinner together and then Mark went back to their room with Matt and Nikki stayed with me in our room. Even though we didn't have a traditional wedding there were still a few traditions I wanted to maintain.

Nikki and I woke up early the next morning and headed off to the spa where she had her manicure and pedicure done, and then our hair and my makeup. We literally spent the entire morning being pampered.

We were a little late getting to the ceremony, for once not my fault!!! The spa was actually running a little behind. But Mark said he expected me to be late because that is just how I am. I guess it's only fitting I'd be a little late for our wedding. I'll be late for my own funeral too. ;)

After reading our vows (we wrote our own, these will be their own post) and were announced as husband and wife we had our first dance. I picked one of the pictures from this. I love our faces and how we look at each other like no one else exists. Our song was Me and You by Kenny Chesney. We chose this song because it is the first song we ever slow danced to. We debated between that one and Then by Brad Paisley.




We have 53 total wedding pictures, but these are just some of my favorites. We had so many great shots and it was hard to narrow it down. Click here to view the rest.
