Hi! After a bit of a hiatus from blogging, during which I got married, went on an awesome honeymoon, and started a new job, I am going to try to blog a bit here and there because things are still so new to me!
Our wedding was a blast, everything we had hoped for and more. It was so amazing to have so many people we cared about and who had touched our lives in some way in one big room, eating, drinking, dancing, etc. Paul and I spent hours rehashing the wedding events on our honeymoon and still love talking about it. Everyone says your wedding day is one of the best days of your life and I would have to agree!! It rained a fair bit on our wedding day, but we were lucky that it didn't affect guest transportation and that we were still able to get many outdoor photos immediately following the ceremony, including many in the middle of 5th street on GT campus! Our photographer is pretty bold and creative, so she pulled two chairs from Tin Drum Cafe and put them in the middle of 5th Street, right on either side of the yellow line, and had us pose for several photos. That is just one of the many cool things she did with us, can't wait until she releases the photos to us! The wedding reception was incredible and just flew by- Paul and I got to eat a little in the beginning while everyone else was in line for the buffet, but after about the first 15 minutes, we were on a rollercoaster of talking, dancing, laughing, etc. I loved seeing so many people out on the dance floor! There were so many great memories made and images captured- so hard to even put into words!
Our honeymoon was a dream vacation- we stayed on an island in Belize called Caye Caulker that should be in the dictionary beside the word "chill". There were only three main streets on the island- the front, middle and back streets- and no motorized vehicles are allowed on the island with the exception of a cable truck and fire truck. The streets were sand, people walked barefoot, and most people don't wear a watch. It took us a day or so to really unwind, but once we realized that we didn't have anywhere we needed to be at any certain time, it became easy to relax. We spent the week trying out all kinds of fresh seafood, getting to know the locals and making friends (big surprise), windsurfing (I had a beginner lesson!), walking around the whole island (only about a mile long), kayaking, watching the sunset from out hotel's dock, drinking cocktails by the pool, snorkeling, etc. It was exactly what we needed and a trip we will remember forever for sure!
The attached pictures are- 1) the tiny airport shack on Caye Caulker, 2) Our feet at sunset on the hotel dock, 3) local restaurant entertainment, 4) our pool and bar at the hotel, 5) Paul in the super clear water at the Split, and 6) us on our dock again (we loved the place!).
More to come!
