Hola

Well it's official I'm now a married woman and I couldn't be happier. I just returned from nearly a month in Mexico, first for our wedding then the honeymoon. We backpacked all over the Yucatan Pennicula stopping here and there with no reservations, just by where the wind took us. We traveled mostly by bus, but took some cabs and what they called Collectivos which were basically, basic minivans. We ended up full circle, starting at the beach then to the middle of the Mexican jungle and back again.

First things first though the wedding! I have to say that all the prep really paid off. It went off without a hitch. Planning a wedding from so far away was somewhat tough but with the help of family and a local wedding planner it turned out just beautifully. From the flowers to the food to the music and the cake I could not have asked for anything more! Everyone arrived from both the United States and Ireland with no problems (all their luggage, a different story on the way home). We made sure to carry anything on the plane that we could absolutely not live without, like the dress and the suit!

The ceremony was so wonderful and my new husband was so handsome in his suit. There wasn't a dry eye in the place, It really was perfect. We left after a few photos to the reception site where we were greeted by Mariachis and Margaritas, as well and the perfect sunset over the bluest of blue ocean. The speeches made were so special, we do really feel so blessed for such wonderful family and friends and are honored that so many made the effort to be with us on our special day! 

 

 

Well there is a sneak peek of the wedding photos that we have. Hope you enjoy them ;)

After a fairytale wedding, we enjoyed our beautiful surroundings with everyone for the rest of the week in Cozumel. We went deep sea fishing and landed a Dorado. My arms were sore for days, but it was worth it! The chair I was sitting in wasn't bolted to the floor of the boat and I was almost taken for a joy ride. Thanks goodness my Godfather grabbed the chair, because there was NO WAY I was lettin' that sucker go! ;)

At Tulum ruins, stunning!

Ruins in Palenque. I have never sweat so much in my life because it was so humid and hot, but it was totally amazing. P.S. We were awakin' in the middle of the night by howler monkeys and the bugs are the size of my great dane ;) 

Down in a cave which is where the Panama hats are created by hand in Becal. Incredible!!

In front of El Castillo in Chichen Itza! 

In Playa Del Carmen at the tail end of our trip! What a blast!!

Thanks for letting me share this amazing and special part of my life with you. I have to admit that I only got online one day and that was to see the launch of the Honey Bees set. Otherwise I was really out of touch. I was so happy about the response to the new set though and I look forward to using it myself. Nichole Heady was the one who talked me into a bee set and I'm glad she did! I would love to see what you create with it ;)

Adios
