First Post as a Married

Well, the wedding festivities are over as well as my blogging hiatus. There's too much to blog each detail...but I commend Kristina for her detailed posts of the weekend....:)....so I'll try. Everyone always has little imaginative dreams about how their wedding will be, but I didn't realize it would go by so fast I wouldn't have time to breathe. I never made it to the foyer bar, had a full piece or cake, saw the buffet or a complete spin of the photo slide show!

For the most part, all went as planned. Our biggest hiccup was my bouquet...we had requested our florist use the bottom pieces of fabric that were left over when I had my dress shortened to cover the stems of my bouquet as well as a broach from my grandma as my something borrowed. Well, wedding day, a substitute fabric was used and the broach was missing. Seems there was not enough fabric so they scratched the whole idea and misplaced the broach so it was missing as well. Not cool. Pretty irritating, but the wedding went on and turned out beautiful.

The weather threatened to interrupt the weekend as well...it rained everyday for about 5 days up to Saturday. A terrible storm came through Friday just as we were finishing the rehearsal so by time I made it to the rehearsal dinner I was soaked along with all the guests. No big deal though we had an awesome time despite the weather. It rained the morning of the wedding while we were getting ready but cleared off by evening and the wedding went smoothly.

We stayed at the Omni Hotel downtown the night of the wedding and it was awesome. The rooms were really nice and we had a top floor room with a view of downtown at night. Awesome. Sunday night Kristina was gracious enough to hook us up at the DFW Grand Hyatt since we had to be up so early for our flight to Miami. Well, in between hotels, we went home briefly to pick up the pups and meet Kristina and Nate at our house. The aforementioned storms that went though had apparently done more damage to our house than the wedding. A few sections of our fence had blown down and our garage door was inoperable. Seems the storm had bowed out of garage door and it wouldn't open more than a few inches. Not 24 hours into marriage did reality hit. Fun. Luckily, everything was taken care of when we got back, but not cool.

So, on to the honeymoon. =D We stayed at the Sandals Resort in Grande Antigua and it was AWESOME! The food was to die for (and luckily all inclusive)! We ate and ate and ate. We had a nice honeymoon room with a fully stocked mini bar that was replenished daily. ;) They actually had full bottles of rum, gin, vodka, whisky, red wine, white wine, and champagne! Between that and the swim up bar, we were buzzed to drunk almost everyday! We met the most wonderful couple from England and hung out with them for about half of the trip. So, if you come over to our house, it is likely Bo will be speaking in a British accent or repeating phrases they said. We decided our 1 year anniversary trip will be a tour of Europe based on recommendations from them.

Sadly, we're back in Texas and even sadder is that we arrived last night about 11:30PM....and our checked luggage was still in Miami. Along with about 30 other people's. Cool. Apparently, it never made it on the flight so they assured us it would be delivered to our house sometime today....we shall see. I didn't like AA as an employee or a customer now. We were exhausted and just wanted to finally get home. Now I have no makeup, hair dryer, straightened, medicine, toothbrush....I had to brush my teeth last night with my finger. Not cool. So, I have nothing to get ready for work with tomorrow - AA better come through.

Well, my puppies are getting antsy in my lap now so I guess I'll cut this one short and pick up with some more later. Plenty of pictures to post so stayed tuned to Facebook!
