Wedding and Honeymoon

So it’s been awhile since our last update, but rest assured that we are doing great! The days leading up to the wedding were rather stress free due to our long engagement, my OCD tendencies, and the fact that the out-of-towners did not all come on the same day. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and everything that we hoped it would be. The reception was gorgeous; however the ride to the reception was not so great. As most of you knew I was not feeling my best thanks to the limo drivers driving, but things started to look up and we had a blast! We will hopefully have pictures up to share with you all very soon!

As most of you knew we went to Mexico for our honeymoon, what no one knew was that it was going to be at the beginning of the Swine Flu Outbreak! Things were relatively calm at first and where we were staying was hours away from Mexico City so we weren’t too worried. The only Mayan Ruin that we were able to visit was Tulum and it was beautiful! The next day we were supposed to go to Chichen Itza; however, the Mexican government closed all the archeological sites due to the Swine Flu! This is probably a good thing because we would have gone anyways! So what do you do when your trip gets canceled and you are at an all inclusive resort, you go to the pool and pool bar! This is where we met 3 other couples on their honeymoon and another couple who was on their honeymoon plus getting married there! They invited all of us to the wedding and we had a really great time! We also had the chance to go on a zip line and do some local shopping where we got some really great bargains on silver!

All in all we had a fabulous, wonderful, tremendous, etc time! Words cannot express how wonderful April 25, 2009 was for Matthew and me. We are blessed to have found each other and to have such a wonderful family and friends!
