Provencial Honeymoon!


Lavender fields, wine, cheese, vibrant colors, passion, and most of all love - here we come! Headed to Povence and the French Riviera for 15 days on our honeymoon! I can't wait.
I feel like a princess with the special wedding treatment, this lavish trip, and my new PRINCE. I couldn't ask for more!

6.6.09 We got hitched!


We did it! Alexander and I were united in a Christian ceremony before our family and closest friends (34 people total) on June 6, 2009. I had no idea I would be so nervous in the ceremony but it all worked out, and everyone seemed to have a good time. We started with the ceremony, and served Salt Lick B-B-Q from Driftwood, Texas and folks chose tea, beer, wine, whiskey or for some, all of the above. Dinner was followed with a jass band, Bernson & Bayless, of which my friend is the singer and ukulele player. People were really impressed with the music. Then came the cutting of the cake (a $32 tres leches from the Mexican bakery down the street) and a champagne toast from our fathers and friends. Next, our friends and family hammed it up at the photo booth where a life size Elvis made an appearance. It was CRAZY! We then were sent off in a yellow cab surrounded by a gaggle of yelling friends with bells. Totally memorable and outrageous!

I must admit I am trying to come down from it all, feeling a tad bit of sadness mixed with lots of relief. I will post the details and pictures soon. Overall, the wedding was surreal, amazing and perfect for us - thanks to family, friends and a lot of planning.
