Hey, everybody!!
I am back and married. (By the way, props to anyone who gets the movie reference in the title of the post.)
Getting married is FUN, everyone! If I can give any words of advice to all of you in the latter stages of the planning process, it would be to for you to make sure that you have FUN on your wedding day. Period. All I remember is the wedding being such a joyous, wonderful moment in time. It was so amazing, and I can’t wait to share it all with you.
While I am waiting for our pro pics, I will definitely catch you up on a few things that I didn’t get a chance to blog about before the wedding.
I want to leave you with a few images to show you a glimpse of how we experienced the day:
We had a meaningful ceremony.

We oohed and aahed over each other.
We cried (or at least I did).
We DEFINITELY danced.
It’s good to be back as a Mrs.

About Me: I am an un-crafty but resourceful, Caribbean-born but New York-raised woman who's been known to analyze "Dancing with the Stars" and “So You Think You Can Dance”, buy stinky cheese, and use way too many parentheses. I keep lists for fun, am constantly daydreaming of my next international travel adventure (four continents down, three to go), debating sports (let’s Got Mets/Giants!) and dancing around my apartment to stay sane. I am excited to share our wedding planning journey as I hope to plan a streamlined, personal, and fun wedding with the greatest life partner I could ever imagine, Mr. Swan.
