We're married!!!!

On that Tuesday (sept 22), Matt's uncle Donny came in to town, so we walked around and scoped a few picture places (he took the pix), and then took him and his uncle Jeff out to dinner.

On Wednesday, I drove out to my parent's timeshare in the boonies of Virginia, and hung out with my family. Thursday, we took all 5 kids to the waterpark there - they loved it and I got my baby fix. It was nice to have a day off from stress - though I did forget how much commotion they are! Thursday night, I drove back to DC to meet Matt and his family for a little birthday celebration for his mom.

Friday, we had a bunch of errands to run (picking up Euros, etc), and then....the Rehersal and dinner. Our docent was a little rough but the rehersal went fine. The dinner was great - good food and plenty of laughs. My little cousin Jacob (2 years old) was obessed with my new little niece Lily - kept asking where she was and if he could see her. :) Then, Matt dropped me off at the hotel, but not without a gift. A locket with Amor Aeternus engraved. <3

On Sept 25, Matt and I got married. :) It was exciting, and emotional, and fast, and funny, and sweet, and just a lot of things all at once. But we said I do, and now we're locked in. ;) The reception was a lot of fun - everyone danced and drank and was merry. There were even glow sticks involved. Crazy. And I got cake on his face - awesome. The cake was good, the DJ was great, and the disposable cameras were all used (and some hilarious photos have been developed).

Then, our honeymoon. I don't want to give too many details, as it seems really personal, but it was a great time. We went historical site seeing in Rome, sipping wine in Florence, leaning in Pisa, hiking in Cinque Terre, and gondola riding in Venice. A lot of great food and good wine, window shopping, walking, picture taking, and holding hands. It was a really good time. :)
