F U Nature!

So... after we set up our bank accounts, we decided to look at the ice sculptures. They were melting, and a lot had fallen off. But they were still beautiful. If there's a lot to look at, I apologize. The sparkle of the sun through them was irresistible. So I entitle this post 'F U Nature!' because it shouldn't be nearly 50 degrees in January.

When I turned around to take a pic of the log cabin sculpture, the goose literally melted apart. Right behind me.

Heat + Ice sculptures = disaster.

It's been a while since I've posted any, so here's some. I had to cut out a couple of the best ones. Guess why, Sarah*!

Aww! Shnuggles!

Steeeretch!

What is that thing you're sticking in my face?!?!

My take on the wedding

Ok, so it was a good time. I already said that. There were only a few things that I wish had gone differently. Like, getting a card with a handwritten message from Shaun. {I got him one, and some cufflinks. We agreed to not get gifts, but said nothing about cards. I knew I wouldn't get one anyway - he's not the kind to think of that kind of thing. :*( } Or gotten to talk to my guests more. But all the 'old married' ladies on the knot.com all said that that doesn't really happen anyway. And - what happened to the chicken parmesean? I don't think that that was... but oh, well - it still tasted good!

The photographer was amazing!!! When he asked us if we were taking a limo to the reception site (was the 10 minute drive worth $500? I don't think so...) and we said no, we're taking Shaun's nastay ol car, he offered to let us drive his. What is his ride? An Escalade! Haha. In that beautiful pearl white, too! Then he even put gas in Shaun's car so we wouldn't have to worry about it after the reception. Above and beyond, most definitely!

Not too impressed with the hotel, though. Everyone got told a different time about the shuttle bus. But luckily Shaun's dad took charge of the situation and told them what's what so all the guests that needed to use it got on it. Yay! :)

And now, for some pictures: (They're all from Cory, so that's why he's in so many...!)

Me and my dad dancing... he was so nervous. I could tell how red his face was from the table he was sitting at!!!

Cory and I dancing :)

"I will."

Smiling at each other because we got the dip in the right place!

Our grand entrance

Free beer + college students = drinking games.

Phew!

It's all done and over with... and now I'm going through some withdrawal... but mostly I'm happy it's done! Everyone I've heard from had a great time and I know I did! Nothing like going through McDonald's drive through wearing your wedding dress! haha! Anyway, I might be heading up to H-town tomorrow so I might not get a good post up until tomorrow evening, but it's coming! Thank you all!!!!

Wedding update...

For my few faithful readers. Have I ever mentioned how much I like comments? ;-)

Well. I'm super excited. And I actually SLEPT last night. 12-9:30. A good, healthy amount. Especially since I have been sleep deprived lately. The worst night was when I went to bed at 12 and didn't fall asleep until past 2:30. (I know, I checked the clock - ew) And I got a couple of snugglers. :D I think it helped I slept in a different room than Shaun - no snoring. Anyway, enough about my sleeping habits and on to what we all want to know about - the ceremony and party OF THE YEAR! (or... maybe not. This will probably be boring to everyone else)

Ceremony: Check. We have a pastor, a marriage license (gotta find that!) and a building. Oh, and each other. VERY important.

Reception: Check. Got to pay them and that's about it. Yay. The fun part. I can't wait to eat that DELICIOUS food, though! MMmmmMMMmmmMmmM

DJ - Check. His name is Tony. Awesome. Why that's awesome, I'm not sure. But it is.

Favors: Check after tomorrow. It's going to be edible. Who doesn't like edible? Who really wants to bring some little trinket home to clutter up their house? I wouldn't do that to people. Haha.

Dress: Check. That has been a check for a while. After putting it off forver.

H'mm what else do you want to know about my wedding? I suppose most of you will just have to wait until you see it! ;-)
