Okay, so I didn’t post on wedding planning….someday I’ll write a book.

I was a tad busy the last few months doing this:

But I’m back now and committed to actually using my wonderful blog again, which I hope will be looking sweeter soon too, if I can convince my brilliant graphic-designer husband to do some work for me.

So here’s the update: We have been married for four months—married life is fantastic! (Except of course for the occasional money-fight, laundry mishap, or the permanent credit card removal, but we are making do.) The wedding came off perfectly despite a few major hiccups.

I was in the hospital having scans and ultrasounds on my rapidly-deteriorating tummy one month before the big day. Whoever said being engaged is great was LYING! It was by far the most stressful time of my life…almost killed me, in fact. My doc basically loaded me up with anti-ulcer meds. Then to top things off, I had one of the worst cold/viruses ever the week of the wedding which left me drugged out on Aleve Cold & Sinus and wiped my memory of some of the weeks’ pre-wedding activities. Thankfully, I recovered well enough (with the help of the Aleve and Vapo-Rub on my feet the night before, by counsel from one of my bridesmaids, which shockingly worked wonders), and the big day was awesome, amazing, blissful, and fantastic! We have some great pictures, and I’ll find the time one of these days to scan through all 1500 of them and actually make some prints and books.

Our honeymoon in Hawaii was unbelievable! Thanks to a dear friend, we stayed in an amazing Marriott resort on Oahu that was so beautiful, elegant, and secluded that it made us both seriously contemplate never returning to the mainland. We had plenty of time to see all the sights on Oahu (Polynesian Cultural Center, Oahu Temple, Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor and of course, shave ice at Matsumoto’s) and still spend loads of time on the beach healing my ulcered stomach, getting some sun, and enjoying our first days as husband and wife.

We live in my old apartment now and are working on paying off our debt so we can buy a house next year. And, hopefully, actually post a few more times between now and then….
