Married!

My awesome wedding party cheering us on! Glen and I are officially married. Husband and wife! The day was pretty crazy, and even though the ceremony wasn’t outside like we had planned for almost a year in advance, it is what it is. I was pretty stressed out about it, because it would have been beautiful to get married on the golf green, under this huge tree in front of all my family and friends. But instead, we got married inside, where it was still pretty, and all my family and friends witnessed our big step in our relationship. Also, I was also stressed out about the weather in NY/NJ because of a snow storm that cancelled my cousins’ flights the day before the wedding. Thankfully, they made a flight the day of the wedding and made it.

The entire day went by SO fast and I wish it didn’t. I’m glad that we have some really awesome photos to look back at and a video (which is still in progress by our videographer). Overall, the wedding went well, and people who went told myself and Glen about how great the wedding was, and that they had a great time. Seeing all our family and friends made me realize how much they really care about us – otherwise they wouldn’t have made the trip down to FL! And I value that so so much.

The honeymoon was great – a week in Hawaii was well needed and Glen and I had a lot of fun. Being touristy and eating the local Hawaiian food, and of course, relaxing by the beach was our time there. Not to mention fishing in the rain too! I’ll upload the rest of the honeymoon pictures later, we took soooo many.

Now, the next part of our lives begins – as husband and wife! An ongoing adventure…

Back to 30%

The weather for Saturday now shows a 30% and I’m sad. Just two days ago there was a 0%! I am hoping and praying that things will shift by Wednesday or Thursday!

Wedding planning has been pretty crazy, and putting together last minute things has made me stressed. Although there was no other time to do it but now since the guest finalization had to be done. I have no choice but to finish it by TODAY, latest.

Just one and half more days until I am off from work, and get to relax a bit before the wedding. The most stressful thing to me right now is that weather forecast. Come on!!

Weather Obsessed.

The weather forecast websites like to F with me. Yesterday, I checked the weather for next Saturday and it was a 30% chance of rain. Now, 0%! I’m going to be watching the weather every day, something that I don’t usually do. I was talking to my cousin and told her about the 30% chance and she told me, “God doesn’t rain on weddings.” Very sweet of her to say, and at the same time, I hope she is right!!

Going to do our final walkthrough at the venue today. Then picking up a bunch of things for favors and other stuff. I can’t believe how fast this wedding crept up! I remember when I was working on the invitation design last year in August! And now I’m packing up wedding stuff to bring over to my parent’s house!

Half Married!

Today we got our marriage license! Well, I thought it was the actual license, but it’s really a marriage license application. Once we’re married, the officiant signs the license, along with witness signatures and then we send it back to the clerk office. We’ll get the official license in the mail after the processing. It wasn’t too bad waiting around to get the license, as they give you a “marriage handbook” that discusses about the law of marriage in the state of Florida. It’s very interesting how Florida looks at marriages as it relates to money, assets, children and closer to the end – divorce and what it consists of. I bypassed that part because that is something I never want to go through anyway!

I can’t believe our wedding is 8 days away. Tomorrow we go to our final walk through at the wedding venue, and then buy some items for our giveaways. I am also praying the weather is perfection! Right now there is a 30% chance of rain and it makes me nervous and sad. It’s still a week out so I’m hoping for the best.
