Quick Life Catch Up

How in the world can I do a quick life catch up when I just got married?! Okay so a quick "catch up" is truly impossible. But since I am still in the midst of getting ready for our reception (tomorrow evening) - I'll talk this time to do a quick update. Then hopefully get back on a better blogging schedule!

First, this creature of habit went back to my blackberry... I know, I know! I loved the features of the droid but in the end it was the battery life that had me returning it one week after getting it. If they could fix that feature - I'd be sold! 

Second (but most importantly) - we had the most beautiful, amazing, perfect wedding ceremony.

I cannot think of how it would have been better. 

The day was absolutely beautiful - beyond perfect weather (Thanks Angela!). At the ceremony I seriously could not stop smiling. Proof in the pictures of me looking like a dork because I'm smiling ear to ear and you can see all of my top teeth and my bottom teeth (I'm not kidding). My favorite photos are the ones taken from behind me where you see Andy and not my ridiculously looking smile - although it's proof of how truly happy I was to be standing there marrying my best friend. 

Deciding to have a private ceremony was a hard decision, but it did turn out wonderfully. Although I am sorry for our many, many friends and family who did not get to see us saw our vows, it really was a beautiful, intimate setting and we loved every moment. Even Andy said that he was sad it was over! I replied with aren't you glad we have a whole wedding reception next weekend? It is very cool that we now get to celebrate with all of our friends and family. 

Make sure you check out my Facebook wall if you want to read some of my favorite memories from the day. And I promise to give a more (or multiple more) full updates from our wedding festivities. Like getting rained poured on at the rehearsal, kayakers down the river during the ceremony & the spider that got stuck in my dress! 

For now, I will leave you with a photo from the ceremony that no one else has seen yet...

27 Days...

In 27 days I'll marry my best friend.... I still haven't reserved the chairs for the wedding, so the 20 family members coming may be standing.... but we'll be getting married. Wow. It's starting to feel so real & somewhat crazy. And I wish I could say it's all happy & fun leading up to the wedding but that's not the truth. I wish I could say it's just the typical wedding stress, but it's not. It's heart breaking pain that Ang won't be here. It's breakdowns that make it feel like it was only yesterday that we said goodbye. I cried one night till I could barely breathe and I asked Andy how is it that this feels just as painful as the day we said goodbye? I'm so happy to be marrying Andy but the last 10 months of our engagement just didn't go how I expected...
