I'm totally procrastinating at work, and what better way to avoid work than to post some of my pro wedding pics and do a honeymoon recap? Ask and you shall receive!Honeymoon: We went to Universal Studios and Walt Disney World in Orlando from November 1-11. I ended up coming down with a cold or sinus infection, and it of course lasted the entire time we were gone. I loaded up on meds each day and powered through, but it figures that the one time I get sick post-sinus surgery is on my honeymoon. :-P I guess it really is true that brides and grooms have a tendency to get sick after the wedding.
I won't bore you with a ton of details, but we absolutely loved Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. I know they aren't super popular honeymoon destinations around here, but we really enjoyed ourselves. H's favorite part was the Harry Potter theme parks. It was so well done, and we're both huge HP nerds, so we had a blast drinking butterbeer and picking out wands. The parks weren't very crowded either, so we didn't have to wait very long for rides and other attractions. Here's a pic of us in front of Hogwarts:
Walt Disney World was so much fun. They were already celebrating Christmas, so there were Christmas carols playing, fake snow at night, and the castle was done up for Christmas too. I'm dying to decorate for Christmas now. The crowds weren't bad while we were there, so we got to ride just about everything with a minimal wait. The only time we had issues was on Saturday, which is of course normally a busy time for a theme park, but they also had a marathon going on, so everything was packed. We tried attending the Food & Wine Festival that day, but it was way too busy, so we just hung out and had a down day, which was really nice and relaxing. We got to go back to the festival later on, and it was AWESOME. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. Om nom nom. Here are a few pics from Disney World:
Now for the professional wedding pics! In total, we received 428 pictures. Yeah, nuts. Here are a few of my favorites:
I got the flower girls sticker books and coloring books to help keep them entertained while we got ready. One flower girl decided to do this to her mom, and I love how proud she looks in this pic:
I'm super short, so I had to sit on pillows to get my hair done:
