So, I know that it's been forever since I posted. In fact I think it's been longer than a month. But what can I say, I've been busy. What with getting married, going to Alaska, and working and all.
The wedding was fantastic. A couple hiccups here and there, but that is to be expected with any event. It can't go perfectly. Texas Roadhouse catered the reception, and it was absolutely fantastic. The ceremony was held outside, and it was 113 degrees, until the ceremony began. As soon as the ceremony began the wind picked up, and it dropped about 20 degrees. So it was tolerable. :-)
The reception was pretty good. We had our first dance to Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You" from the movie "Wedding Singer". It was very romantic, and people either laughed, or "Awwwed". The cake was delicious, but we only got that cake cutting bite. Luckily Derek's mom saved the top tier, so we will finally get a piece of that cake. We are going to eat it on our 1 month anniversary in a couple days.
We went to Alaska for our honeymoon, on a Carnival cruise. It was the best week of my life. In fact, I'm already looking for tickets for our 1 year anniversary. We saw sled dogs that compete in the Iditarod, and played with the Alaskan Husky puppies, oh man, I was all smiles the rest of the trip. We were selected to participate in the Newlywed, Not So Newlywed game show on the ship. It was alot of fun, and the rest of the cruise all the people were like, "Hey, you're the newlyweds!!"
All in all it was an incredible experience, and I wouldn't have done anything different. In the end I ended up married to the love of my life on our 5 year anniversary. And had the most amazing week of my life. Life is good.
