Phew
So I'm sure you are all dying to know how it all
went...and believe me I am dying to tell you, but how do you cram 2
weeks worth of stuff into one post? I'll do my best, but I'll let
the pictures do most of the talking. They aren't up yet, but will
be by mid week (I hope).
The decorating of the hall, wedding and reception went off with virtually no hitch, (I say virtually, because there were some minor bumps in the road, but nothing we couldn't handle). Joni got the hall decorated in record time with the help of her family and when it was all said and done, it looked AMAZING! I managed to avoid her the entire morning of the wedding and I have to say it was well worth the wait, it took all I had to keep from crying the moment I saw her in that dress. Absolutely beautiful! The reception was so much fun, I hardly had a drop to drink, but I was out on the dancefloor for a good chunk of the night (didn't do the dance we paid to learn once, but oh well!) When I get the pictures posted of the shindig, you'll all see why. I'll lump the pictures of the wedding into two seperate albums under weddings (one for the actual wedding and one for the reception) and the rest will go under trips, where you'll be able to see our honeymoon and whatever else we did while up north.
About that honeymoon, man was that a good time! If you've never been on a cruise, I *highly* reccommend it! I've never been anywhere that DOES NOT distinguish between first class and tenth class. No matter where you booked on the cruise, everyone is treated like royalty. We stayed in what could be considered second class (our room had a window, not a balcony), but there was no difference between us and the people who were below the water level with no window and a cramped cabin. The cabin stewards made animals out of the towels, the waiters put your napkin in your lap, the cabana boys almost knew exactly when you'd be wanting that next drink. We did a little bit of everything and I even managed to sneak in a little of nothing too! Let's see, we swam with dolphins (even got a kiss on the cheek), visited the Atlantis aquiarium and resort, Jet Skied (sp?), toured by boat, gambled, shopped, ate and drank! We're already planning our next cruise for next summer, most likely to Alaska for 7 days! That'll kick ass!
