Not Engaged Yet

AW: Wedding

H and I got married! It was a fantastic day. The weather was nicer than forecast - dry and about 5* warmer than they thought, so that made the day more pleasant. The ceremony was beautiful and I only cried into my borrowed handkerchief (from GMIL) a little bit, which is more than she cried into it on her wedding day.

The food was fantastic at the reception. Everyone is still talking about the cake, which truly was to die for. We had a little hiccup getting the tables cleared to play games, but once that happened everything was smooth from there. Some people even did stick around for games, which was fun. And everyone got along, which was awesome!!

FBIL brought a tote of games as well - those came later. Very nice of him! Some of his games were quite popular.

No honeymoon yet. We're waiting for me to be done with my dissertation (speaking of which, 1 chapter to go for the draft!!), and I don't know where we're going because I'm not planning it. I planned most of the wedding, H is taking care of the honeymoon. I know it's domestic because I didn't want to mess with passports right now - I have enough else on my mind.

I'll be in and out for a while. I was sick right away after the wedding (ugh), came back a week and a half behind at work (amazing, didn't I only take a few days away?), and now I'm working on a take-home final for my class (but it's not so bad, just taking time).

    Congratulations! I'm so glad your day went smoothly with no major hiccups! I can't wait to see some more pictures, did you get anything of your cake or your décor? I can't remember what flavors you chose!

    I can't wait to hear more about your surprise HM! Will you go after your draft is submitted or when you're completely done - defended it and everything?

    ETA: I also love your pro teaser pic! That is 100% a ND sky! I'm glad you had nice weather for your day!



  • It sounds like, even with the hiccup, that everything went really well! I love your sneak peek picture! Are you excited to cut your hair the way you want to now?!

  • Congrats!!! Your little hat/ fascinator/ don't even know what to call it is so cute!!

    Do you have the time/ month planned for the honeymoon? I would hate to not know what my husband was planning for that, I like to be all up in the plans lol.

  • Yay, married lady! Your hair looks adorable! And I absolutely love the pro pic. Love love love.

  • @all, thanks!

    @labro, I don't have decor or cake pics yet. I know there were cell phones, but I haven't seen most of the pics people took. Our cake flavors were pink champagne with raspberry mousse filling, chocolate with chocolate mousse filling, and amaretto with caramel filling. I know SSIL picked up 6 pieces, claimed they were all for the table, and then proceeded to eat them all. :D

    As far as the honeymoon goes, I know it will be in mid-August. I'll have defended and walked at graduation by then. One thing at a time in my world - plus I'm nervous that if I took a vacation now I'd never get back into the swing of things on the dissertation. I'm having a hard enough time picking it up again as it is!

    hahaha I would do the same!
    Between the two of us, H and I had 4 pieces. My uncle had 4, I know someone else had 6 or so but I can't put my finger on who it was off the top of my head.
  • Ummm love the teaser pics! You look gorgeous and so happy with your new husband. Congratulations on both the wedding and first draft approval of your dissertation (I apologize if I am late on the latter)!
