We have been married for 5 whole days now!! It's super awesome...but not really different at all.
It was a long long day of travel, we flew from Mpls to Salt Lake City, to Reno, then took a bus to South Lake Tahoe. 14 hours total. Jeepers. We dropped Amelie off at my parents and she went right to sleep. That made it soooo much easier to leave.
We were exhausted by the time we got there, but like Matthew Wilder sang, "can't nobody break my (our) stride". We unpacked and headed down to Fire and Ice, the restaurant at our hotel. We met a nice guy, James, and chatted it up while we had some beers.
The best part about our hotel was the heated outdoor pool and hot tubs. We enjoyed both that evening.
Anyways, to the good part.
We got married Wednesday the 3rd, I had an appointment to get my hair done at 10am and Tyler went and got his beard trimmed. We met back at the hotel and had some mimosas and got ready.
As soon as I got my dress on, I was certain I was going to ralph. I felt ill. I thought it was because my dress or undergarments were too tight, but I was wrong. I guess I was just nervous. Tyler got some choice photos of me sitting by the window trying to get some fresh air.
When our limo arrived we took some photos in the hotel by the fireplace and I thought I was going to have to run outside and barf, but I didn't. I felt better once we got into the limo and rolled out to our wedding site. The folks that married us were pretty funny/crazy. Just our style.
The ceremony was short and sweet. We were supposed to get married at Emerald Bay, but since it was practically blizzarding, we had to go to a back up site. It was really cool getting married in the snow, we loved it.
Since we got married during the week, we were able to go and get our certified marriage certificates right away, then we went back to our hotel. We cooked a pizza, had some champagne that our lovely friends Cassie, Beth, and Amber sent us. Yes, pizza and champagne. Oh, and PBR's.
Then we went out on the town. We had dinner at a Steak/Seafood place. I literally had the BEST sushi I have ever eaten. (I have eaten a LOT of sushi too). Everyone was clapping and cheering and buying us drinks all night long. It was a lot of fun.
I'm uploading the photos as I type and will post them soon. For now, here are some pics we took on our phones. I can't wait to celebrate with our friends and family at the reception!
Here is a real gem. We bought the most awesome sweatshirts we could find, then wore them on our travels home. Awesome.
Yep - you dropped baby off and she went right to sleep. But its not like she slept the whole 5 days you were gone. If she could talk she would tell you all the fun things we did, but grammy's house is like Vegas.......
