Wedding and Honeymoon Recap

Has it really been that long since I last posted?? Life has been crazy the last few months with getting stuff ready for the wedding and also getting the house ready and I just couldn’t get myself to blog at all. I will try to start posting more often, but no guarantees.

I had such a blast at our wedding!!! I woke up sort of early and went to my SIL’s to get my hair done. Once that was done, I headed to the spa to have my make up done. I then put on my dress, saw Matt, jumped into the truck and headed to the studio for pictures. The weather was pretty good that day which was an answer to our prayers! We started our pictures at the studio with just Matt and myself. We then went to the outdoor to do pictures with the rest of the wedding party and then headed back to the studio to do some more with the wedding party. Pictures were SO much fun and I can’t wait to see them!!! After pictures, we went to the church to do family pictures and then wait for the ceremony to begin. While waiting for the ceremony to begin, butterflies invaded my stomach and wouldn’t go away. I was SOOOO nervous! The ceremony flew by for me and before I knew it I was married and was being congratulated by everyone. It was such an amazing day and I’m SO thankful for everyone that helped me plan and get everything ready!!!!

After the reception was over, we said goodbye to our families and friends and headed to our house. We finished packing everything up for the honeymoon, had something to eat and then were off to the city with my newest BIL and SIL (Carl and Carolyn). We had to be at the airport around 2am on Sunday, so they dropped us off at the airport, so that we wouldn’t have to pay for parking for a week! We checked in, went through security and then sat and waited. It seemed like forever before we could board the plane! We finally got to board and we were off to Mexico. I was so exhausted, but of course I couldn’t sleep on the plane. The flight was VERY long because there was nothing on TV and I couldn’t sleep! We landed in Cancun, picked up our luggage and went outside to find the van that was going to take us to our resort.

The ride to the resort was crazy and scary! I prayed the whole time because I wasn’t sure if we were gonna make it to the resort or not! LOL We did arrive at the resort safely and went to check in. We could only get into our room at 3, so we walked around the resort figuring out where everything was located. The resort was really big, so we did a lot of walking. At 3, we went back to the reception desk and got the keys for our room. Our room was quite big and we could see the ocean from the little deck!!! We had a great time on our honeymoon and time went by quite quickly!! We had cloud and rain for 5 days and then sun for the last 2 days that we were there. I’m just glad we ended up getting at least a little bit of sun!

I will post pictures soon, so I hope this will do until I get the pictures on here. Hope everyone is doing good!!
