First of all, everyone tries to tell you about how the wedding/wedding day is just completely exhausting and flies by. When I think back on it now, several weeks later, it does seem that way. But when I really look at it, you feel just such a mixture of emotions that by the end of the day you're exhausted from experiencing them all. Logistically, everything fell into place beautifully - once we hit about 1:00 pm that day, I wasn't worrying about anything. I was thinking about getting myself ready, having all of the photos done, and just following through with everything. The ceremony flew by (literally, I think, because I believe it lasted about 25 minutes, only 15 of which I was actually a part of it.) The reception seemed short and quick, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I don't have any digital copies of photos from the wedding and reception right now, so here is a link to the wonderful Amy-Rose King's blog where you can get a pretty good preview (my photos are about halfway down the page):

These are my BEAUTIFUL bridesmaids at the rehearsal.
The night before our wedding, in front of my little apartment door for the LAST time!
We spent the night of the wedding in Lubbock, and the next morning spent the entire day in airports and on planes on our way to Barbados - definitely worth the effort. Below are some pictures of us and the uh-mazing Crane Resort, originally opened in 1890.
One of 2 pool complexes on the resort grounds. This specific view is from our room's balcony.
Our very own private plunge pool on our balcony.
The Crane Beach has been voted in the "World's Top 10 Beaches" several times. I don't know if you can see well enough why, but the sand is PINK! You can kind of tell a little bit when you look at the water, and the sand that has been pulled up by the waves.
Barbados has the clearest, most blue water I have seen in my entire life - this includes Cozumel, Hawaii, and the western coast of Italy. I think you can even see the salt from the air stuck onto my face.
On our last full day there, Jared and I went on a tour of the entire island, which included a visit to a wildlife reserve where the monkeys run up to you and will eat out of your hand. I opted to just be the photographer, and let Jared play with the monkeys.
At the same wildlife reserve, instead I chose to hang out with the tortoises...the HUNDREDS (literally) of tortoises. You had to walk carefully to step in between them because they covered the entire path throughout the reserve.
OK, that's all. If I get any better photos of my in my dress I will definitely post them (that one day was the ONLY time in my life I will ever wear it, so I gotta show it off!) but hopefully this will suffice for now.
Hopefully some pretty exciting stuff is going to happen in Jared and mine's life over the next 6 months, so I promise that my posts will get even MORE entertaining.
