North Carolina-Outer Banks

I'm baaaack!!! And married.

We're back.  Way too soon and without our luggage.  Our flight was delayed in Norfolk because of all of the storms on the east coast.  We finally made it out of Norfolk and barely made our connection in Charlotte.  Our bags apparently didn't run as fast as we did.  We did an OJ Simpson through the airport (for those of you that may have seen those old rent a car commercials).

It feels so good to be home.  We truly could have used another week.  It was a lot of work and preparation.  But it was all worth it.  Now all of the name changing and cleaning up the house from Wedding Central Workshop into a home again and making room for DH.

I will post vendor reviews and some pics soon...

    Welcome back!  So sorry to hear about your luggage.  This first day back at work has been torture.

    Welcome back MRS.  Hope your luggage turns up soon.  And the first day back at work was agonizing.  Can't wait to see pics.

    Haha...you wouldn't have wanted to see a pic of me either on the first day back.

    Your pic is gorgeous.  I love the lightning and the sky.

    I'm sure I'm suffering from severe withdrawal.  My head aches.

    It barely did.  Rev. Jay suggested we start a little early because of the weather.  A few raindrops and windy, but it mostly waited until after the ceremony.  You could see the storm rolling down the beach feet away from us.  So, we didn't get all of the photos we wanted.  A rainbow came out during the reception, then a double rainbow.  That was caught on film.  We wouldn't have these awesome shots without the rain though.

    Lisa, you had fabulous weather.

    Congrats Maria!

    I can't wait to hear all about your wedding since we have many of the same vendors. I am excited to have Daniel Pullen now that I have seen that awesome pic!

    Our date is coming up on 10/1....I need to stop being such a lurker here and get more involved now that I am completely stressing out!

    Don't stress yourself out.  Just pace yourself.  How is the weather holding up in NC?  I will post about vendors soon.
