Marimaru's wedding.

[Devana 0]

One week to go!

Are you ready? Any doubts?

Will we get to see some pictures?

[Marimaru 7]

Aww, you're so sweet!!

I'm VERY excited, and to be honest, kind of excited to have it over with, lol. I've been in panic mode all week for no particular reason.

The wedding is a week from tomorrow, and then I'm gone another 10 days in Hawaii for our Honeymoon. I'll be sure to post TONS of pictures when I get back. I am SO PROUD of my dress. I designed it, and my mom made it, with some necessary modifications, and it's very, very cool.

I leave on Tuesday to go down to the site with my mom, and everyone else involved comes down Thursday, with the guests arriving on Thursday and Friday. The final count is about 30 people, which is small, but that'll be nice as well, I think.

Well???? How was it?

[Marimaru 7]

Hey sorry, hehe.

I've been back since Thursday, but I wanted to wait until I had more good pics online. I'll attach a link to this one though:

I'll update with more pics as I get them online.

Everything went really, really well. I was afraid of some family feud issues, but my family handled themselves well also. After the wedding, we went to Hawaii for 10 days for our honeymoon, which was also very nice. We went scuba diving with Manta Rays, and then spent a good amount of time just relaxing and unwinding.

I will admit, I'm glad the wedding is over. I've never been so stressed, lol.

Other than that, since hubby (hehe) and I have been living together for some time now, everything is just business as usual, with the exception of me needing to get my name change done (waiting for the marriage license).

You were an absolutely beautiful bride. You look very happy...and your dress was georgous!

[RKidder 0]

Such a beautiful, happy bride. Love your dress! Best wishes to you and your new hubby.

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

You look so beautiful! You should put that picture in the

corner of your posts. Beautiful dress, beautiful bride!

[Marimaru 7]

I will update my avatar soon.

There's none of the types of picks you are looking for from my honeymoon, lol. That picture is when I'm kind of hiding in a corner so Mike doesn't see me before the ceremony. I was all shakey, lol.

I designed that dress, and my mom made it. The design was significantly altered by the finding of the lace with all of the feathery things, but it's still similar.

VERY pretty. Is that a bird-of-paradise in your bouquet?

[Marimaru 7]

Yes, there were birds of paradise, and blue iris, and all sorts of other things. Here's a link to a directory of images I just got up for anyone who's interested in browsing through it :scalesno:

Marimaru, you look absolutely beautiful! I am so touched and so pleased by this photo and I am a big cynic.

[the best me 6]

OMG Sarah, I honestly had no idea you are 25 years old. I just thought you were in your mid 30's...I dunno why? And in your avatar...well, you could pass for someone older. You could!

But your wedding pic?! Jaw dropping! You look soooo wonderful! Stunning! Radiant! YOUNG! You have lost more weight and you just MUST update your avatar. Your weight loss has taken years off of you. Fabulous!!!!

Congratulations on your wonderful day. I'm so glad it went well and you are happily married! Well done! :scalesno:
