We're Married!

We're back from the honeymoon and are all settled back into the normal routine.

We had a beautiful day in Santa Barbara celebrating with a great group of family and friends. We missed those who couldn't make it. It was a dream come true! Matt's grandparents and two cousins, Haylee and Blaire made it in and it was so nice to meet them! I also got to meet Matt's longtime friend, Andy! It was so nice to have all of our good friends (bridal party) and immediate family here to help us celebrate. Dinner was great and we had so much fun dancing with everyone! The Fess Parker DoubleTree was amazing and we just love the staff there. They made us feel like celebrities for the weekend. All of our wedding vendors were great and seemed to be more like friends than wedding vendors. All in all, we wish we could relive our big day over and over again. If you'd like to view our professional pictures click the wedding gallery to the left or visit Jessica Lewis's blog to the left and scroll down till you see us! We can't wait to see the wedding video that Gina at Lola Video puts together for us!

Matt and I stayed in Santa Barbara for the honeymoon. Our car broke down on the honeymoon which resulted in us having to get a rental car for 3 days, tow the truck to the shop, and pay for repairs....there went all the money that we were supposed to spend on activities, food, shopping, etc. while there. Turns out our radiator broke...$600 laters for the repairs we got the truck back. We went down to the beach to celebrate that day and as a huge wave hit Matt, his wedding ring came off never to be found again...believe me, we tried. We searched the shore and in the water till sunset that day and woke up early the next morning to search again. No luck. While our honeymoon wasn't completely the relaxing time that we had looked forward to, we still were able to enjoy ourselves. I think we'll have a honeymoon redo in Hawaii or something! ;]

Matt and I are going to try and write about our favorite highlights from our big day soon!

Hope everyone is doing well! ♥
